When Matt Orth came to speak my freshman year.  He spoke about Ehud, God's sent deliverer for the Israelites who was a left handed warrior who killed the Eglon King of Moab(who was very fat...it says that in the Bible!).  He plunged the double-edged sword into the king's belly and his fat closed in around the sword. Ehud left the sword and the king.  Matt Orth made this story really come to life and it was SO hilarious!  It shows that God will use anyone as long as they are willing.  To the people around Ehud, Ehud was not a strong warrior because he was left handed but when the guards seached him, they only looked on his left side for a sword (which is the side that most warriors...who were right handed...wore their sword) so they never found his sword.  This allowed him to kill the king with the sword that was on his RIGHT side...which allowed him to accomplish all that God had called him to!!
