Hello!
It appears that many of us have made the decision to step away from the computer and do stuff. I just can’t keep reading all this BAD NEWS.
I've been doing laundry and other chores.
I read “Forward Day By Day” meditations each day. Sometimes there are things in the meditations that make me think about you and today was one of those days. Right now, FDBD is celebrating its 75th anniversary and is using selected meditations from 1935 till now.
Todays meditation was on Exodus 4:10-20 (21-26) 27-31: I will be with your mouth and teach you what you are to speak.
It gives us the four voices in which Moses could speak to Israel and to Pharaoh, the same voices we have been using ever since.
The first voice is the way of force and fear.
The second voice was the one that I was drawn to today, I’m sure because of yesterday. The second voice is that of mystery and magic. Moses, in making his hand leprous at will, appealed to magic. This is the promise of a panacea to cure all ills. We look for it in technology and politics; wonder drugs are not confined to medicine.
The third voice is that of authority.
The fourth voice is the voice of personal experience and witness.
This mediation was written in 1971.
