Our family really likes the movie The Prince of Egypt, a movie about Moses. Dad just recently made it so that we could watch VCR’s, so Johnathan just saw it for the first time (that he can remember) a couple months ago. When he saw it, he really liked it. As amazing as the stories of superheroes and such are, the stories in the bible are even more amazing, and even more awesome because they are true. Johnathan, having never seen the movie before, was amazed at all the miracles, from the staff turning into a snake to the amazing climax of the parting of the red sea. Anyway, this morning, Alex, Joseph, and I were playing together. I put pillows in a laundry basket, and then was going to put alexander into it. Instead, I tried to put Joseph into it, expecting him to climb out. When he didn’t climb out, I asked Alexander to help me push him to ‘the river’. Then I got Mom, who picked him up and carried him upstairs. We were all singing the song Moses’s mother sang when she set him afloat in the basket. ‘Hush now, my baby. Be still now, don’t cry. Sleep as you’re rocked by the stream. Sleep and remember, my last lullaby. River, oh river, flow gently for me. Such precious cargo you bear.’ Joseph had a funny look on his face, but he stayed in the basket for quite a while. Then he lifted up his arms up to Mom as if to say, “OK, I’m done. Get me out of here.”
