Yesterday passed without me recognising Post Number 100.
Cue fanfare, balloons and small furry animals covered in tinsel.
Which of course makes today's number 101.
For those with numeracy deficiency, no need for thanks. Money will suffice.
On a completely unrelated train of thought,
Gee, my hamstrings are sore!
Stooping low to coerce water from the floor into a bucket repeatedly will do that I guess. (Don't ask. Long story. Not mine.)
Tighter than a Scotsman's wallet.
Yeeearrrch.
Oh look, a bridge!
Oh look, there's me getting over it.
Taadaa.
Leviticus 9
The process is complete and God shows the people His glory.
Boy, did He what!!!
Moses and Aaron experience it close up.
Then the people.
Then
BAM
The fire consumes the already burnt sacrifice.
What had been seen from afar was now so very, very real.
A close encounter with God.
And exactly what was needed.
The people needed to know the process undertaken had purpose.
They needed to know it worked.
They needed to know God would respond.
I guess despite all they had seen before (plagues, Red Sea, etc), they needed a reminder of God's presence.
And His promise He would look after them.
The sacrifice made it possible.
God responded in a way you'd think would not be forgotten.

We're on a bridge!
You... Are aware, right, that the '99' at the beginning of your post disagrees with your claim of yesterday being post 100?
I like crossing bridges... Just don't light them on fire.
The "99" at the beginning may just refer to the number of chapters blogged about.
50(Gen)+40 (Ex)+9 (Lev so far) = 99
There were extra posts not referring to chapters ;)
Definitely no unicorns here.
