Robin Parry is the husband of but one wife (Carol) and the father of the two most beautiful girls in the universe (Hannah and Jessica). He also has a lovely cat called Monty (who has only three legs).
Living in the city of Worcester, UK, he works as an Editor for Wipf and Stock — a US-based theological publisher.
Robin was a Sixth Form College teacher for 11 years and has worked in publishing since 2001 (2001–2010 for Paternoster and 2010– for W&S).
Remember how Psalm 106:23 says that Moses "stood in the breach before the Lord"?
It's referring to Exodus 32 - 33 where Moses stands in the broken place between God and Man -- and refuses to accept God's threat to destroy the calf-worshipping Israelites -- and also refuses to be saved himself, without them being saved too.
And most surprising of all: God is not annoyed with Moses ("The Lord spoke with Moses face to face, as with a friend" Ex. 33:11). In fact God gives Moses what he wants.
Or to put it another way: Moses was doing and saying exactly what God wanted -- what God wants of all his servants -- working and praying for the salvation of all!

I feel a little guilty...but, I laughed so hard I spewed out Mountain Dew on my monitor...and I was drinking chocolate milk at the time.
btw, my word verification was "moses"...no kidding.
"Moses" ???
I would say that this must have been a sign!
