Exodus 2:1-22 - Moses is a man between two worlds. He is a Hebrew and apparently knows it, yet he is also part of the inner circle of Pharaoh's family. How does God make use of Moses' in-between position? In what ways are we, as followers of Jesus, between two worlds?
Mark 14:32-52 - I understand that the disciples were probably exhausted and found it hard to stay awake. That said, I'm surprised that they missed out on the anxiety Jesus was feeling. I've always been an early to bed type person, but if I'm frightened or tense, there's no way I'm falling asleep. This story almost seems like the opposite of when Jesus calmed the storm. While the boat is rocking and the storm rages, Jesus is asleep and the disciples are on edge. In this story, Jesus is on edge, and the disciples sleep soundly. I wonder if the disciples were just dull, or if they had learned not to be anxious when Jesus was around.
