Absalom, Absalom!

Being sick is no fun. So I attack it aggressively with sleep, hydration, lozenges, vitamins, blueberry-infused tea (with LOCAL HONEY!), and finishing up II Samuel.

Eric Whitacre joined me today, too. The end of the story of Absalom and King David mourning him (to the point of forgetting his job of being king) takes on a whole new dimension when you listen to "When David Heard." So does the song when you read it in the Bible while listening.

Now onward to lots of kings of Israel and Judah!

  2. Tea with honey is a good practice in general (especially when the tea is fair trade and the honey is locally produced).

    Blueberry makes it that much more amazing. :-)
