In hoping that readers have liked my interpretations of some Genesis stories I am going to write some of my interpretations of the Book of Exodus and the life of Moses from childhood to adulthood. If I remember this is the book of the that the movie 'The Ten Commandments' was based on long ago. "Let my people, go! wasn't that a quote the movie used so long ago. I am just starting Exodus, and the baby Moses was just found in the reeds in the river Nile and given to the Pharoh's daughter to care for even though wrong.

Out of Egypt
To me my interpretation to the rest of the Book of Genesis is one of bargaining and making deals and of begating and making sure that family stays put. There were promises made and kept and there were also promises that weren't kept. Joesph and his wife as well as his sons and daughters had decisions to make on how they should live their lives, and did they make the right ones for now as we look to the Nation of Israel as a World nation do you suppose that the original inhabitants are thinking now of what they created?

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.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

I haven't been in the book of Exodus in a while, so it's nice to read you going through it. Thankfully Moses was alright even though he was put in a basket in the River Nile.
Great drabble, Mark. I love the depth found in the book of Exodus, and as a young girl, I also really enjoyed the movie of The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston as Moses. One of my favorite old hymns is also "Go Down Moses" or "Let My People Go", although most churches don't sing the hymn anymore because of its relation to oppression. Here's a link to the music if you've never heard it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU_GcxTZx8k

Eager to see where you take this!
