Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

Lo, I am smiting all thy border with frogs

This blog has previously touched on the role of frogs in the old testament and, in a seperate post, in Egypt.

Now, we bring the two together with a little excerpt from the book of Exodus, Chapter 8.
(Alternatively you can check out this Exodus. Sadly, Marley doesn't seem to pick up on the frog connection on the album. I guess 'frog' doesn't scan quite as well as 'buffalo').

The gist of the story is that God tells Moses to tell Pharaoh to let his people go or else.
‘Oh yeah? Or else what?’ says Pharaoh.
Answer: I will plague your whole country with frogs.
