The Burning Bush

Didn't Satan tempt Jesus in the form of a burning bush while in the desert? My mother did get me to Sunday School, but I may be confusing Jesus and Moses stories. If any of my 5 fans know the answer - give me a shout out! Regardless - I've been tempted and tested these past two days, and I am in a bit of a quandary. First, I decided that yesterday was my "off" day this week. Lesson #1 - Never let your "off" day come at the beginning of the week as you have no idea what the rest of the week has in store. Although, I must say that dinner with good friends and lots of laugh is always a great excuse. Second, I am sick - cough due to cold or cold due to cough, but either way - I feel just awful. I was most gracious for darling students who were well-behaved today as I struggled through my classes. I imagine that really skinny girls exercise through colds, H1N1, and pneumonia, but I think this girl needs some liquids, NyQuil, and Little House on the Prairie this evening. So, that leaves only 3 "off" days until Easter - yikes! Thus, I am in an "emergency" only mode. I am tempted to suck it up and go tonight, but I have a crazy weekend ahead, and being sick is not an option. After a quick re-read, a burning bush has very little to do with my entry, but I am too bushed to think of something else to write, and I am afraid my head may start burning up if I don't sign off . . . .

*** After an email clarification from my sister, it seems that next year I will read the Bible during Lent. Burning Bush has nothing to do with Jesus or Lent. I think I was hallucinating yesterday.
