I am in need of someone to update our website on a regular basis. If you have the time, I can show you how to do it. It is really self explanatory.
It requires minimal technical ability and about an hour or two of your time once or twice a month.
Please let me know if you are willing to take it on. I would appreciate it immensely!

8 And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, 10 and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. 11 And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.
12 The Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction." 13 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them."
15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. 16 The glory of the Lord dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. 18 Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Today, I had the privilege to be with Barb Perricone as she took her last breath on this earth. I can only imagine what it was like for her when her spirit left her body and joined the Lord Jesus in glory. I can only imagine, because I didn't experience it. I only know from what the Lord himself has told me about what it's like.
The same is true for this reading today. We can only see it through the words of Moses here. There isn't a whole lot of description, and rightly so. No amount of description would do it justice.
It was the same at the Transfiguration. Peter could only say, "It is good for us to be here." And "Let me make some tents so we can stay here for a while."
Personally, It's hard for me to wait for the day that I will join Jesus in paradise. It sounds so wonderful! The longer you live on this earth, and are a stranger here, the more you long for heaven, which is your real home. Till then, may God give us patience and peace as we wait, that we may be the witnesses of his mercy and grace to all around us.
Let us pray: Lord, thank you for giving us these little glimpses of heaven, but we pray that you come quickly so that these little glimpses can be our present and eternal reality. Amen.
