beginning
with restoring
flooding
of the world
washing
out the sin
redeeming
the earth
times
on Mt. Sinai
gathering
God’s elect
handing
down the law
to
redeem the wayward people
climbing
the mountain
fasting
in communion
hearing
your still small voice
praying
to guide your nation
forty
days and forty nights
Christ’s
time in the wilderness
repeating
the appointed time
God’s
will to be done

This
Lenten Season, we are doing something a little different. We are doing Lenten
Dramas from: http://www.sermonsfromseattle.com/home.htm
It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing conversations between
God and some of the characters that took part in Passion Week. It has been a
"moving experience" for all. . .
