Reading through 2 Samuel I'm struck by the similarity between David's feelings for Absalom and God's for His people.

2 Samuel 18:33 KJV

[33] And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

Absalom had no redeeming qualities, and died justly (hanged and pierced Christlike from a tree no less) in the midst of rebellion against his good and loving king and father. Yet in spite of it, David wished he could have died in his place.

Happy Birthday, Dad. On the radio the other day I heard someone say that most children who wish on the first star they see at twilight are actually wishing on Venus. It's the smallest object in the sky, but its nearness outshines everything. Most lost men look for stars to get them home--I'm glad I'll always have you.
