i love hearing about other people’s short falls.  I know that sounds horrible, but trust me, I don’t root for their short comings, I just like realizing that people I hold in high regard aren’t perfect either.

Take Moses for example.

The Israelites are in the wilderness, and miraculously God is providing manna for them to eat.  Kinda bland, but they got creative about how they were cooking it.  They made it work.

But, they wanted meat.  In Egypt, they got meat.  All the meat that they wanted, and at no cost.  Other than slavery.

So, they grumbled against God.  The grumbled against Moses.

God, not too into the idea of grumbling.

Moses, not feeling up to the challenge of leading a bunch of grumbles, and complains to God.  In fact, tells God to kill him, but only if God has found him righteous.  KILL ME, but only if I can come to heaven. – Moses

God provides quail, and soon the people are described as having it coming out of thier noses, and then God kills some of them.  Great story.

My thoughts?

Moses, smell the roses.

You are going to have tough times.  waYne, smell the roses, you are going to have tough times.  You are going to feel inadeqate.  Stop.  Smell the roses and encounter god.
