8: By night may have been an appropriate time for the activity, but it also symbolizes the wrongness of the activity.
13: what is meant by "a god"? Samuel was not a god. This term is used of the spirits of the dead in ancient Near Eastern texts. (ESV study bible)
24: Such a different culture- having a calf in the house with you...I cannot imagine.
Am I like king Saul? Obviously, I have neversought to bring back that people and God has not rejected me. But I often seek to find Answers to tough questions in places outside prayer or the Bible. (Namely, the Internet) I do not have an answer for this problem, except time and practice. I am not comfortable asking God about the tough daily issues that I have because I never feel like I get a response. But I know that God is faithful and that he will follow through. God, help me trust you with my decisions.
