Deuteronomy ends with the death of Moses, one of the greatest figures in the entire Old Testament. In the story of Moses we see a microcosm of the story of Israel, that is a man chosen specifically by God for His holy purpose, yet a sinful man who sometimes resisted God’s will and sinned.

I usually try to avoid using this weblog as a sounding board for my personal experiences. Indeed, there are too many things going on that need to be discussed in a wider context for me to much up these pages with my own otherwise unexciting life, but today I am taking the liberty to deviate from that rule.
