read the suggested torah reading for shabbat shuva which was deuteronomy 32:1-51 because I needed some guidance in my reflection for the first of these ten (wait. I think now just seven left) days. I kept reading because I was intrigued and you know what? MOSES DIDN'T GET TO LIVE IN THE HOLY LAND. he served his purpose for the Lord and then he died. and I understand that that was God's plan...but wow. I hope he really "enjoyed the journey". crazy.
I believe that Moses did enjoy the journey because he knew that was his purpose in life. I believe that I have many purposes in life (mother, wife, teacher, cook, etc) with the over-arching purpose of reflecting the love of the Lord and being a light to shine in the darkness of our sinful world. I think that there are many purposeless people in our world....
