Progress: Day 99, April 8

Today I

*read the book of Judith in the Catholic Bible. My "Becoming Women of the Word Bible Study" met tonight and Judith was the focus of our study. I spent a couple of hours reading about her and then was in discussion with my study group for about 1 1/2 hours

*read more about stocks and bonds

***Kim

Are you aware that there are several books that are included in the Catholic Bible that are not in the Protestant Bible. "Judith" is one of those books. Judith's story similar to other stories of women heroes in the Bible...Jael, Deborah, Esther.  In her story, Judith beheads Holofernes and tricks his army into being captured by the Israelites. Apparently, the book of Judith was left out of the Protestant Bible because King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, was mistakenly identified as the King of Assyria. Irregardless of that mistake, I think it is an important Bible story.
