In Bible I learned from the accounts of the good kings of Judea that to be a good God follower you should not let the temptation for wrong be there, so that you will not be tempted. I read about Asa, Amaziah, Azariah, and Jotham. They followed God but bad things happened to most of them because “Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.” 2 Kings 14:4, this is also said in 2 Kings 15:4, and something that is much the same in 1 Kings 15:14. The kings followed God and obeyed God, they didn’t sacrifice. But the people did, and they paid for it, with the exception of Asa because “the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the Lord all his days.” 1 Kings 15:14. But the other kings still did right in his sight as far as we are told, and we are told about their downfalls. So their must be a reason, a purpose deeper than the eye can see, and maybe just maybe that purpose is to teach us the lesson of not letting the temptation be there to tempt.
We skipped the section on chemistry and went strait to physics in science. I thought physics was just gravity and stuff like that but according to the book every single invention from the wheel to modern-day things such as computers and MP3 players are due to the wonderful amazing physics. I personally think it is a bit of an exaggeration, but they can think whatever they want.
We also read some poems about trees. They were crazy, one was talking, one was staring at someone, and the other one I could make neither heads nor tails of it. But I could tell they were all using personification.
