day no. 14,325: not the way we've pictured it

Exodus 7:7

Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Movies, cartoons and kids' Bibles have largely influenced the fact that we imagine Moses and Aaron as young-to-middle aged men who courageously approach the throne of Pharaoh. But in actuality, they were 80 and 83 respectively. Unless we make the mental effort to change the picture in our heads, we prove that we prefer the images we've already grown accustomed to over the truth of what we have read.
