David The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BC) contains the phrase בית דוד (Beit David), read as "House of David", which most scholars take as confirmation of the existence in the mid-9th century BC of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David. He is depicted as a righteous king, although not without faults, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician, and poet, traditionally credited for composing many of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms. David is central to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic doctrine and culture. Biblical tradition maintains the Messiah's direct descent from the line of David. In Islam, he is considered a prophet.

6 Things You Thought Wrong About Introverts If common stereotypes have anything to say on the matter, it's that introverts are socially awkward loners who abhor large crowds and don't like people very much. An introvert may not be a particularly friendly or happy person, but hey, at least they're smarter and more creative than the average extrovert. Despite comprising an estimated one-third of the general population, introversion may be one of the most frequently misunderstood personality traits. But the silent revolution of introverts -- catapulted into the spotlight largely by the work of Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking -- is shedding light on the experience of introverts living in a culture that tends to value extroverted qualities like assertiveness and outspokenness over solitude and quiet contemplation. 1. Shyness is so often confused with introversion that the two words are frequently used interchangeably -- but in fact, they're remarkably different traits. 2. 3. 4.

The shepherd who became King. « Cry for Fire Hi guys! It’s a wonderful Sunday afternoon! Church was really great this morning! Lots of praise and worship, and a wonderful sermon on 1 Samuel, in which God sends the prophet Samuel to anoint David as the King of Israel. We all probably know the story. The message of this passage is that God is able to see things about people that people cannot see. I’ve avoided the blogosphere for some time now, and everything social network-related, but I came online because it appears that’s where a lot of our culture’s important dialogues are happening. I believe that God spoke to me specifically through the sermon on 1 Samuel, because like I said, it teaches us that only God knows His plan! Guys, I left for the movies last night (I’ll be posting a review of Sucker Punch later, but for now, suffice it to say that it was a strong PG-13, and I had quite a few problems with it. And so I have had enough of it. It just saddens me so much to see Christians feuding with Christians. God is love! Like this:
Gut feelings: the future of psychiatry may be inside your stomach Her parents were running out of hope. Their teenage daughter, Mary, had been diagnosed with a severe case of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as ADHD. They had dragged her to clinics around the country in an effort to thwart the scary, intrusive thoughts and the repetitive behaviors that Mary felt compelled to perform. Even a litany of psychotropic medications didn’t make much difference. It seemed like nothing could stop the relentless nature of Mary’s disorder. Their last hope for Mary was Boston-area psychiatrist James Greenblatt. Greenblatt started by posing the usual questions about Mary’s background, her childhood, and the onset of her illness. That’s what prompted Greenblatt to take a surprising approach: besides psychotherapy and medication, Greenblatt also prescribed Mary a twice-daily dose of probiotics, the array of helpful bacteria that lives in our gut. Her parents may have been stunned, but to Greenblatt, Mary’s case was an obvious one. Read next: Amar Toor
