Hopeless romantic.

But she wasn't that hot.

But she had a nice smile and willing heart.

I like where the she bear kills the kids for making fun of the bald prophet. That'll teach them. Now if I could get a bear to do that to the mkiscreants that walk on my grass, I would truly be happy.

2 Kings 2.23-24

23 ¶ And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

That's the one. I recall the NSRV oxford had some explanatory note but it is still an odd and amusing story.

Far from my rescue are the words that I roar.

My God, I call out by day and You do not answer,

by night—no stillness for me.

Awesome. I'm adding this one to my list too.

In an effort to swing this thread to a more serious tone (usually not my style, I know), my favorite OT moment/story is in Judges.

The story wherein Gideon exercises faith and uses clever strategy and trickery to slay the Midianites with a vastly outnumbered army.

Not sure if it is tops, but it certainly ranks high for me.

If any of you are unfamiliar, check out Judges 6. It is a great story.

Mine was serious, but no one was interested. Same with you, apparently. It's typical here.
