I though you'd like it.

Our POV is that you can get clear water from rusty pipes, and that Sinai (or Horeb) was, when compared to other mountains, not very distinguished or noble. Positively scruffy, viewed in certain lights.

If I hadn't thought back in my Protestant days that you could get clear water from rusty pipes, I never would have had the nerve to get into a pulpit.

Thank you so much for the rusty pipe analogy! It reminds me of one of my personal favorites:

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. - Jer 2:13
