Hello Dave,
At the start I was wondering who these men would be. I totally agree
with 3 of the 5 (in particular, I really thought Balaam was an
inspired choice!) but I'm not sure how well Samson fit in for the
reason that you gave; and he and Solomon were not in the first 5 books
of Moses, or The Pentateuch. Titus is from the New Testament.
The reason this nit-picking occurred to me is that I'm a Lutheran,
Confirmation lay teacher, who takes the 1st year students (11 year
olds, typically the 6th grade.) If I had the nerve.... I'm sure the
6th graders would like it! But when they got home and told their
parents what they learned in Confirmation Class today.... oh boy.
A very cute ditty.
Best,
Stephen.
