What are we to make of the story of the burning bush ? Did it really happen ? Does God still communicate that way? Would the God you say you know act that way today ? In this amazing story we find something that makes us uncomfortable - God does not reach out to Moses through his reason, but rather by his confusion. In the middle of a very ordinary looking world he puts this one small spot that makes no sense, one place in Moses' world that makes no sense. It is in that place that he encounters not the God he wants, but the God who is. .
