I've thrown around a bunch of ideas to write about David over the years. Some are terrible ideas and some are better.
-When I was young I thought it would be fun to write an outer space
science fiction based on the story of David.
-I had an idea to write a movie script about making David king from the
point of view of his mighty men.
-I had the idea to take the above idea and put it into a historical fiction
book.
-I have a book idea called David's Trust that is much like Opportunity Jesus
in that it would be chronological while highlighting David’s acts of faith.
The best idea might still be out here but I can't think of a better place to get inspired than in Ein Gedi. These are the caves that David hid from King Saul in. Caves that David penned some of my favorite Psalms. I've imagined these caves, I've dreamed about them, but to experience them? Wow.
I have an opportunity to go poke around these caves this winter! Not only that; but tour dozens of major Bible locations. I could stand where Elijah defeated the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel, ride on a boat across the Sea of Galilee, climb the Mount of Olives where Zechariah predicts Jesus will return one day, and many more. I've wanted to do this for so long but its never worked out. This winter I have been invited to go for 7 days, I have about half the money I need to go. Could you help me raise the rest? Support my trip without giving money, or donate today?(http://fundly.com/send-mr-e-to-israel)
As a Bible teacher and preacher I cannot even begin to fathom how much this trip will challenge me, stretch my imagination, and give the Biblical text a whole new layer of depth. I'm so thankful the opportunity to witness the scenes of His story.
