On holy ground

The latest Visual Meditation from Artway, which arrived yesterday, is based on David Robinson's sculpture On Holy Ground. Click here to see the image and read the meditation.
Today I sent the following Rob Bell quote to the work-based email group at St John's Seven Kings:

"A man named Moses is tending his sheep in the land of Midian when he comes across a burning bush. He moves closer to see more and hears the voice of God, speaking to him about his people and their need to be delivered from the land of Egypt. God tells Moses to take off his sandals, for the ground he is standing on is holy. Moses has been tending his sheep in this region for forty years. How many times has he passed by this spot? How many times has he stood in this exact place? And now God tells him the ground is holy?

Has the ground been holy the whole time and Moses is just becoming aware of it for the first time?

Do you and I walk on holy ground all the time, but we are moving so fast and returning so many calls and writing so many emails and having such long lists to get done that we miss it?" (R. Bell, Velvet Elvis, Zondervan, 2005)

As the two fit together well, I thought I would make the link here.
