The Pocket Jesus Project

Although Pocket Moses and I learned about 9 out of the 10 plagues last week in class, we had to wait to have our photo taken with the masks.

First you need to check out the 10 plagues masks.  We found them at Party City back during the Passover and we just couldn’t resist buying them.

Second the mask representing the plague of boils was choosen for us to pose with.  This mask cracks me up because it should be called the plague of polka dots.

Week 2 of the Exodus class was last night.  The plagues were the topic.  Who knew when I went to Pharaoh and asked to let the people go that someone would use that for a song.

Pharaoh, Pharaoh
Oooh baby, let my people go
Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya

I said, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oooh baby, let my people go (Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya)

Well a burnin’ bush told me just the other day
That I should come over here and stay
Gotta get my people out of Pharaoh’s hand
And lead them all to the promised land.
I said, …

Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oooh baby, let my people go
(Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya)

I said, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oooh baby, let my people go (Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya)

Well-a me’n God’s people comin’ to the Red Sea
And Pharaoh’s army comin’ after me
I raised my rod and stuck it in the sand
And all of God’s people walked across dry land. I said …

Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oooh baby, let my people go
(Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya)

I said, Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oooh baby, let my people go (Ooh-ah, ya ya ya ya)

Well-a Pharaoh’s army is a comin’ too
So what do you think that I did do
I raised my rod and cleared my throat
And all of Pharaoh’s army did the dead man’s float. I said

For the next 4 weeks I am attending a class on Exodus.  It’s Old Testament and although many think I’m a New Testament person, I’m here to tell you I’m a fan of both.

Last night was the first night of the class and we were introduced to Moses.  I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to him as well.

Bet you didn’t expect a pocket Moses did ya? :)  Watch for Pocket Moses for the next 4 weeks on Thursdays.
