Burning bush Quote by Frederick Buechner

“If it please you, the lady's name again?" says Reginald. His quill is poised. If God had come to Reginald and not to Moses in the burning bush, he would have asked him how to spell the great I AM so he'd be sure he had it right.” quote by Frederick Buechner
