2There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of
fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not
consumed. 3Then Moses said, "I must turn aside and
look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up."
4When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see,
God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
5Then he said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals
from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
6He said further, "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.
7Then the LORD said, "I have observed the misery of my
people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters.
Indeed, I know their sufferings, 8and I have come down
to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a
good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the
Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites. 9The cry of the Israelites has now come to
me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them.
10So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my
people, the Israelites, out of Egypt." 11But Moses
said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out
of Egypt?" 12He said, "I will be with you; and this
shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the
people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this
mountain."

It isn't that they
can't see the solution.
It's that they can't

The Lakehouse from the old
warming hut. The warming hut has now been made
into a delightful Nature
Center with hands-on displays.
Well, this mountain
lion isn't "hands-on!"
I forgot to take pictures
at these restaurants this week!!!

Two roads diverged
in a wood,
and I took the one

and that has made
all the difference.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

21From that time
on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo
great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
killed, and on the third day be raised. 22And Peter
took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must
never happen to you." 23But he turned and said to
Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are
setting your mind not on divine things but on human things."
