First Memories

By Stuart Powell In the second-last chapter of Deuteronomy, Moses blessed the tribes of Israel. As the old prophet prepared to ascend the mountain to view the Promised Land and then to die, he poured out his heart in prayer. He asked God to continue showing favor to his chosen people. In his prayer, Moses referred to Yahweh God as “him who resided in the burning bush.” Even at the end of his life, Moses was still awed by the memory of his first encounter with the creator God.

I”m Dr. Harlow, Pastor Tim, or Brother Tim, depending on your affiliation. I”m “Boss.” I”ve been “Coach.” I used to be “Timmy,” and I”ve been “Hairball” (but that”s a longer story!). But when people ask me what I like to be called, I usually say, “Just call me Tim.” It”s a good name, and it”s my personal name. Moses was the first guy to ask God what
