July 18, 2010 Number 22 Balaam and his Donkey

Balaam is the story about spiritual direction in a surprising and funny way.  How can others help us listen to God who is trying to direct us.  And is there really a talking donkey in the Bible?  Oh my, shades of Shrek!  
  • Coming alongside through all of life
  • Staying away from the dangers on the road with us – helping us see the world as it really is. 
  • Sometimes speaking for God when the other is ready to hear. 

That is a good friendship.  But any ass can do it, right?
