But, I am blessed by my Bible reading! I read aloud, which helps my mind to stay on track. But, I'm pretty sure it takes longer. Today I was amazed to read about Moses, and be reminded about the circumstances of his life. As a young man, he was a murderer. And, he didn't lead his people until he was in his 80s! Even then, he argued with God about whether or not he could truly do what God had readied him to do. So, it's not just me who says, "really God? Are you sure I'm the one you want to do this?" Moses did that too. And, I don't know what it means to me specifically, but God let Moses use Aaron, even though, of course, Moses could have done it himself, with God's power.
Something I had not noticed before, that I found very touching, was that even in the midst of all of the danger and rush to get out of Egypt, Moses took Joseph's bones with him. Moses honored Joseph's request long ago to be taken with his people.
