There didn't seem to be a subject for this dialogue, so I added one. I'm not sure how to understand this Moses stuff. Telling God to be God? God is always God, it's we, the people, who need to become who and what we were created to be. More likely, I think that he was readjusting his (and his people's) own attitude about God. I think that God shows up for us in the way that we think (He/She/It) is. Is God all powerful and loving? or is God fickle and vengefull? Or is it we, who hold ourselves in contempt? Is it we who hold on to our mistakes, transgressions, and wounds without offering forgiveness or asking for forgiveness, without making amends or forgiving ourselves and others? (The way I see it), God is the all powerful creative force, powered by Love. If it were not for the Love of God in the first place, nothing would have manifested. Therefore, I believe, that it is the intention of our creator for us to be loving and creative. That's really all we have to be. Oh, and by the way, built into the the creative part is the gift of the word and the law that goes with it. Everything we think comes true. . . unless there are contradicting thoughts that stop or moderate it. So, by becoming aware of your thoughts and changing the complaining, negative and worrisome thoughts into positive affirmations of a life overflowing with love and creativity for everyone, we can transform ourselves and our lives into heaven on earth. [I'm not saying that it's easy, (even if it is simple). I'm just saying that it's possible. And that maybe, just maybe, that's what we are designed to do.] Back to the story. Does anyone know what the column of smoke by day and the column of fire by night stand for? (sounds strangely like UFO abduction stories).

Communities on i.UCC

UCC 101
Learn more about the UCC's past and present, and the future of our "united and uniting church" which we hope will include you! We've got blogs, videos and a discussion space where you can ask questions about the church—and about this online community. UCC members are also welcome!

Opening the Bible
We believe that when you explore the Bible, you don't have to check your mind at the door—or your curiosity. Scripture can do great harm when used as a weapon, but it also opens a door to the story of God's loving relationship with humanity.

Spirit Café
We invite you to an interactive space for spiritual inquiry and exploration. Learn about new and ancient spiritual practices, and share your spiritual journey with others on a quest like yours.

Prayer Chapel
End your day with a simple, quiet, meditative experience of evening prayer. We gather in our virtual Prayer Chapel every night at 9 p.m. (Eastern). At all other times, you're welcome to post your prayer requests in our Prayer Chapel Forum.
