I love a meeting that doesn't quite fit with what I'm expecting.
In particular when they are shorter.
Fewer people attend than first anticipated.
The schedule gets cut back.
I get to chat to those I haven't for a while.
Today, I had one of those type of meetings.
Brilliant.
My desk celebrated by not groaning too loudly under my unorganised mess.
I could sort stuff.
Sort of.
And, as I sorted, my security monitor let me see a client change his clothes in the courtyard.
By change, I mean really change.
Not just socks and shoes.
Everything.
Shirt.
Vest.
Pants.
Jocks.
Jocks again. (Who knows?)
Everything.
Painfully slowly.
And he kept turning around and around.
Eeeeeeeuuuuuuwwwwww :p
Maybe meetings run long for a reason.
Numbers 29
There seem to be more ceremonies in the seventh month than in any other.
A month of solemness and remembrance.
Yet with much feasting.
Sort of like how accountants commemorate the seventh month today.
On top of all the other sacrificing that would occur.
There's a few more.
And the odd feast or three.
I actually can't recall if accountants still sacrifice stuff, so maybe the analogy ends with having a busy seventh month.
Perhaps.
It's another opportunity to see how important the number 7 is.
7 is God's number.
7 is the day of rest.
7 is holy.
This seventh month is a holy month.
This was the month to concentrate more on God and what He had done.
A time to seek forgiveness.
A time to give thanks.
Again a lot of detail if given on how to go about this.
I can't imagine how good Moses's memory must have been.
My guess is, very good!
I also struggle to comprehend the vast quantity of livestock required to keep up with this all.
My guess here is also, very vast!
