Moses at the Red Sea

We all know the magnificent and wonderful story of Moses and his great accomplishments. Just like the freeing of the Israelites slave from the cruel Egyptian Pharaoh, even the way he done it was amazing. Imagine setting 7 plagues into a city just to convince the Pharaoh to let his people go. It was truly a mind blowing feat, like splitting the Red sea so that the Israelites can pass through it.

One of the good things that we like about SPM is the ability of the topics to be related in real life. It never dawned upon me that like the story of Moses, miracles do happen in life, whether it may be biblical in proportions or small things like tissue paper. Thinking about that, although I am catholic, the bible has so many good stories but when you think about it sometimes the stories there are like a fantasy movie all the time. It just then occurred to me that don’t take things to literal in life. It’s not always by the book; sometimes you just have to forget about the theories and just apply what’s practical and right. The things thought in school may be forgotten by the head, but the values we learn from our teacher and professors will never be forgotten by the heart.
