I had always figured she put the baby in the river in hopes that he'd float to a country that he'd be welcome, but I guess the text doesn't say that.

With Moses being slow to speech, what exactly is that? Is it a lisp? Stuttering?
And notice how God admits how people are deaf, hear, see, blind, etc? That it's Him that does it? WHY would God MAKE people blind or deaf?
And also, God said he would harden Pharaoh's heart...WHY? And isn't that going against man's Free Will?
I always assumed slow to speech meant that he wasn't a brilliant orator and he knew it.
I think the reason God makes us blind or deaf is because it's the best thing in the long run. Maybe it brings us closer to Him, or it teaches us, or it accomplishes something indirectly. Kind of the "every gray cloud has a silver lining" idea, but the silver lining is much more important in God's plan than the gray cloud.
While I usually hold to a free-will theology, a lot of places in the Old Testament seem to contradict that. God certainly has the power to make a man react a certain way. I don't know how often he does it, various people disagree on that...
God bless you,
Grace
