Perhaps it is because I am preparing to teach a four week Wednesday night class at Riverside Presbyterian that I have begun to look into my garage sale pond and see my tiny fish as the Israelites. How? First, they are very tribal, the four golds do not intermingle with the mottled whites at all.The golds seem more august, wiser somehow. Are they the Levites?Second, they wait for the "manna" flakes to rain down upon them. I shake the flakes into the pond twice per day.Hummmm, I wonder. Does this cast me in the role of God? I just poured a bucket of mosquito minnows ( aka guppies) into the pond, so tomorrow I guess we'll see if the Two Tribes of Israel have become three or more.
