Setting: My OT class. The prof is expounding on 1 Samuel 5, in which the Ark is placed in the Philistine's temple of Dagon. During the night, Dagon fell over, bowing to the Ark. The Philistine's were horrified. This couldn't be! Dagon was the real god! Dagon couldn't have possibly fallen over in reverence for the Israelite's God.
"Maybe there was an earthquake or something. I don't know. I mean, maybe Dagon had gas or something. Too much pizza. Or mushrooms."
My OT prof is so random sometimes. He even sang (Bob Dylan's??) song, "You Gotta Serve Somebody" and Keith Green's "Wanna Go Back to Egypt." (He didn't sing the whole songs, just part of them.) He claims (in jest) that he is the next American Idol.
In discussing Deuteronomy one time, he got so excited that he exclaimed, "You can just smell Deuteronomy! Have I told you my idea?? I'm going to make a scratch-n-sniff Bible. I'll make millions of dollars because you can only use scratch-n-sniff once. People will love it so much that they'll have to buy a new one. I'll be rich!!"
Even though his tests are hard as anything, I love his class. He is so enthusiastic about what he teaches. Plus, I know that he knows what he's talking about- he's the 2nd most sought-after OT professor in at least the nation. He turned down a job at Oxford to come to my school.
Speaking of OT, there is test coming up that I need to study for.
Have a happy weekend!! =)
