my people

it was time.  moses had finely won the freedom of his people from the slavery grip of the egyptian king and ruler.  plans needed to be made, events needed to be recorded, people needed to get ready. as the israeli's got together their merger belongings and head out, God set moses in the front to lead his people to safety.  God, himself, set himself ahead as a guide - a pillar of smoke in the day, and a pillar of fire at night.  he knew his being with his people would cause comfort in their spirits.  as they moved along, the angles of heaven sang in joy and celebration.

as they approached the sea, they felt trapped - the army of the king was closing in and they knew they did not have the ability to fight.  as moses approached the banks of the sea, he lifted his staff over his head, and God opened the sea for escape.  the isrealites hurried along the opening to freedom and as they reached the other side, they noticed the army was right on their heals.  just then, as the last of the isrealites walked on the banks, God closed the path and the water came crashing down upon the ensuing army.  just then, as the water closed, and the army perished, the host of heaven started to sing glory to God for the salvation of his people.

as the celebration in heaven was under way, one of the angels noticed that God had a tear in his eye.  the angel asked God, "most holy God, why do you so sad?  your people are free and safe on the other side of the sea."  God smiled, looking at the angel God said, "yes, but my people also drowned today."

>>everyone belongs to God, even if we do not agree with their religious views.  when i first used this story i was accused of "twisting" the scripture and "adding to the truth of scripture" by a group of fundamentalist christians.  they refused to here the story, because they knew they were right.
