Bathsheba, the beautiful woman next door, was pregnant.  Uriah, her husband, the soldier, was dead.  David, King of Israel, was responsible.  For sure, this was a turning point in David’s life.  But I want to focus on the rest of the story.  God loved David too much to let him wallow in sin without trying to change his life.  So, God sent the prophet Nathan to challenge David to face what he had done and change.
