I feel like I've written this everyday for the past couple of weeks....but, I didn't catch anything specific in the scripture today. I did however continue to sense the fracturing of the people. The unfocused-ness of their mission. As they move farther and farther away from God...their lives become more disorganized and they are attacked more. Its almost as if the more control they try to have over their lives, the less they have. When they relinquish all control to God, they wind up having a much more stable environment. George Costanza theory of doing the opposite, I guess.
I think that's the end of the book. I am anxious to move on. It seems really repetitive and a little depressing.

I agree there is a repetitiveness throughout this book. I also have anxiety as I read through it. It is so hard to follow God and do it well and it seems so easy to get off track. Getting off track deeply impacts your kids, but even being on track as Josiah was does not guarantee your kids will stay on that path which is scary. Reflecting on Father's Day yesterday I see so much importance in being a good model for our kids, but most of all they need to find their own relationship with God or in the long run a good role model won't necessarily carry the day for them.
