After Pharoh let the slaves go, but did he really, he chased after them, but boy are they all in for a big surprise. This is when Moses is taking them into the Wilderness for the slaves to become a tribe and to follow and listen to God. God gives them manna and quail so that they will not die, but after so long the people become dissatisfied and they do other odd things and have other ideas like returning to Egypt. The people start to believe but in the wrong way as with the golden calf, do they learn.

Exodus 2
In the Book of Exodus there are several plagues put upon the Earth, which are locusts, flies, gnats, blood, frogs, hail and fire. Speaking of today some would think that with tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, fires of all kinds, and blizzards for these could seem like plagues upon the Earth. Did Pharoh learn from his mistakes, I believe he did when his firstborn son died but has the people of today learned from the tragedies and storms that are inflicted somehow. Some do and some don't. The theme of Exodus is Let my people go and learn for living with God.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The African Diaspora and History of Rhetoric: Learning to Learn
When studying the history of rhetoric, many groups were excluded from participating in power and were used, abused, and written off as inferior. Even today African nations have not recovered from being exploited by European powers.

Gosh, we just can’t get rid of pharaoh. Even when they were rescued and given food to eat, though different from what they had in Egypt, they still complained. They didn’t see it as a rescue, or even that they were better off being with Moses. Very interesting and thought provoking summary on this bit Mark.
I love the parting of the Red Sea, which many believe to only be metaphorical in nature. I, however, always believed in the miracle. People, regardless of miracles they may witness or help they may receive, often fall short of the mark and turn away from God. These are great drabbles on the book of Exodus, Mark.
