We Can't Go Back to Egypt

When Moses led the Israelites out of slavery they had to spend some time in the dessert. Some of the people were always grumbling.

Why did you bring us out of Egypt to make us die of thirst?

In our family we call these people "The Back to Egypt Committee." Every movement has one. Always grumbling about the progress being made but refusing to offer any real suggestions to help move things along.

Our president made a terrific speech last night. Will this new plan work? I don't know. But it's the plan. Do you have some positive suggestions to help make it work? Let's hear them. Do you have a better plan? Let's hear it.

Otherwise, please try not to grumble when I'm around.
