I have just recently finished reading through the book of Numbers (great book by the way with some great stories!) and was commenting about the book with my wife over dinner. She was the in the other room as I was slowly finishing my plate so our conversation was one where we had to speak loud so we could hear each other. I commented to her, "What do you think the significance was for God using a donkey to speak to Balaam?" (Num. 22:22-35) She responded with, "I don't know but I wish that God spoke to me through a donkey!"
Ahh so true. As I sat and pondered her response I was struck with the thought that sometimes, when in a place of frustration or desperation, we just want to hear from God, be it anything or anyway.
On a lighter note, I wonder if the writer's of Shrek were inspired by this text!

Would have been much funnier if she had said, "I wonder the same thing everytime you say something to me!" In love, of course.
