Now Moses was keeping the flock
of his father-in-law, Jethro.....
and he led his flock to the west
side of the wilderness...
to Horeb, the mountain of God.
And, the angel of the Lord
appeared to him
in a flame of fire
out of the midst of a bush.
[Exodus 3: 1-2]
*****************************
"What the heck.............?
What the HELL is THAT........."
"MOSES!"
"Hell! What did Zipporah
put in this water jug, anyway?"
(shakes water jug.
squints and peers into jug.
frowns at the jug.)
"MOSES!"
"Man, I'm gettin' out of HERE.
Hey, SHEEP! Come on, guys!
Let's go! Shoo! Shoo!"
Come on! Let's GET!"
"MOSES!"
"Who's OUT there?
Jebrah! Is that YOU?
Hey! What did I tell
you about playing around,
up here, anyway? I don't
care if you ARE my wife's
sister's kid! You're a big
pain in the BUTT; 'ya know THAT?"
"It's not Jebrah, Moses.
It's Me, your Lord."
"Heah? WHAT?
Who ARE YOU, anyHOW?"
"The Lord."
"WHO?
'Ya mean, the HEBREW Lord,
Lord?"
[SIGH]
"YOUR LORD, Moses!
Now, take off your SHOES!"
"Wait a second, Lord;
You're WRONG!
I'm an EGYPTIAN!
A former PRINCE!"
"Hm, hm. Who do ya' think
you're TALKIN' to?
I knew you, before you
were YOU. Now,
take off your SHOES."
"WHY?"
"CUZ.
I said so."
"What's 'a matter with'em?"
"Nothing. Just do it."
"Yeah, but isn't the ground
gonna' be HOT - You know,
what with the fire, and all?"
"Uh uh."
"Yeah, but Zipporah's gonna'
get mad at me if I come home
with dirty feet. Man, that
woman can scream louder than...."
"MOSES! TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES!"
"What's this ABOUT, Lord?
You know, I got a whole herd to
schleppe back, by sundown."
"First, you gotta' take off
your shoes."
"Okay! Okay!
There; what da' Ya want me
to do with th'um?
Do YOU want'em?"
"No. Toss'em over there, Moses."
"Yeah, but suppose one'a my sheep
decides to go to the BATHROOM
on 'em, Lord? Then, WHAT?"
"So be it.
I AM your Lord."
"Yeah. Well, that may be
true, Lord. But......"
"But, WHAT."
(FIRE ON BUSH
GETS BIGGER FOR A SECOND.)
"Okay! Okay!
But, if those shoes get a bunch
'a sheep poop on 'em,
Zipporah's gonna' skin my hide...."
[SIGH.]
"Oy, Moses!
This is gonna' be a LONG
forty years!"
*******************************
And He said,
I am the God of your father,
the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face,
for he was afraid
to look at God.
[Exodus 3:6]
To my sister, who thinks I
should be better spending my
writing time.
