This is a loaded week, and I've been putting off preparing for my class on Friday. I teach 2-6 year olds (which is a different kind of challenge!) and usually try to have something original for them to correspond with the Bible lesson. This week is about Moses and the burning bush. Seems the old boy was out taking care of sheep wen he saw something he saw quite often -- a bush burning on the desert sand. But as he watched it, he realized that the flame wasn't consuming the bush, but just staying alive within it. He went to check it out and found God, the true God, for the first time in his life. It changed his life, changed his direction and changed the world. That God is still available to us, if we'll just take time to hear His voice in the mundane things of life. It's just as powerful, just as alive and jsut as fiery as it was then. I wanted a story to convey that to the kids -- that it's there, but we have to be willing to listen in every aspect of life, in every moment, or we might think it's just another 'burning bush' nad miss it.
This morning, as I was laying in bed trying to pretend like I wasn't a day off on a deadline, God literally gave me the beginning of this story. They were crystal clear in my mind, and I groped in the dark for a pen and paper, jotting as fast as I could, hoping I'd be able to read the hen-scratch later. Not sure I got it all, but I think I got most of it right. Let me know what you think.

Blessings and thanks much, Deb
