Lifting the Veil

It's Friday, and with a title like "Lifting the Veil" you would think I was going to rag talk about Say Yes to the Dress or one of the other bridal shows I watch.  But, you would be wrong.  I'm referring to a different veil altogether.

On my way home from Target (yes, Target -- I hadn't been there since last Saturday, almost an entire week!) I heard a well-known radio teacher speaking about Moses.  He said that when Moses first came down from meeting God face-to-face on Mt. Sinai, his face glowed with an unearthly light.  This was because when Moses was in the presence of God, the glory of God "rubbed" off on him and he retained that shiny glory for awhile even after he rejoined the Israelites.  But after awhile, the godly glow began to fade, and Moses started to wear a veil so his fellow Hebrews wouldn't notice that he no longer had a glowing countenance from his encounter with Yahweh.
