David and Goliath?

David and Goliath, its a familiar story to most people in a church. Little boy, Huge giant, we even have a song about it.

For one young person in church today the story made his day.My conversation with him went something like this :
Me: Hey munchkin,whats up?
Child L: (at rapid fire rate) There are gross stories in the Bible?? COOL. Did David really cut of His head? Was there lots of Blood dripping do you think? Wasn't David afraid? Why didn't Saul fight Goliath? Was the king a coward? Cowards shouldn't lead an army should they?
Me: Yes there are all sorts of stories in the Bible, some even more gross, some mushy, some just plain weird.
Child L: grosser than David chopping off Goliath's head and carrying it around while there was blood gushing? ( said in a ghoulish voice)
Me : yes.
Child L: Coool. Why dont people talk about the gross stories in the Bible?
Me: I'm not sure, probably because they are not always the easiest to understand.
Child L: Do you think the pastor will talk about any more gross stories soon?
Me: Do you want me to talk to him?
Child L: YES!! something gross, full of adventure would be good.
Me : Okay :)
Child L: Bye

The kiddo made me think, How many things do I as an adult Christian take for granted? I know lots of stories from the bible,  one from each of the categories I mentioned to him. How many people don't know the stories?

 For this little boy, it was amazing, and awe inspiring, A little boy stood up to a giant and won. And David was ready to face the giants brothers as well.

We each have giants in our lives, do we have the faith of David to believe God can handle all of our giants?

Honestly? I am working on it.

Peace to all
