The Shofar

This morning in Bible study, John read the story of how the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho before God gave them the city. The kids love this story- we even have a ram's horn that we purchased several years ago from a Messianic Jew. John got out the ram's horn and all of them took a turn sputtering on it. It was not pretty! But pretty didn't matter. The kids were inspired; they marched around and around the circle from our living room through the kitchen in a noisy procession until they fell into a giggling heap onto the living room floor. Fortunately, the house did not come falling down. Even without a real shofar player, this was fun! But suddenly one of them had a brilliant idea: "Dad, do you think we could get lessons?"
