A fugitive shepherd on the back of the desert. A bush that burns and is not consumed. A voice that says his name twice. The day Moses's real life began.

In this letter

- Setting the scene — Moses at eighty, tending Jethro's flock in Midian

- A slow read of Exodus 3:1-8 (NKJV)

- The bush — seneh, the scraggly bramble

- Why God put the strange thing in Moses's path and then waited

- The doubled name as summons (Abraham, Samuel, Saul)

- Here I am — Moses's one-word answer

- Sandals off, holy ground

Scripture

- Exodus 3:1-8
