The Colorado Adventure

Gone A’Wassailin’

Is that right? The song says, ‘here we go a wassailing’, but it’s just wassail, not a-wassail. Anyway we’re off to Frisco for the Wassail days festival. We hope to try some awesome wassail, stroll down a small town main street, eat some good pizza pie and revel in the snow.

Advent reading for today – Saturday, Dec. 5

“As he looked on, he was surprised to see that the bush, though on fire, was not consumed…God called out to him from the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ He answered, ‘Here I am.’ God said, ‘Come nearer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. I am the God of your father,’ he continued, ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.’ Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. But the Lord said,…‘Come, now! I will send you to Pharaoh to lead my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.’” Exodus 3:2-10

Moses, raised as an Egyptian by the pharaoh’s daughter, is witness to God’s word when an angel appears to him as a burning bush, depicted in today’s symbol, and instructs him to lead the people of Israel to the Promised Land. Read Moses’ story in Exodus 2:1-4:20.
