Genesis 8:15

 "Then God said to Noah,"  Genesis 8:15

After all this time confined to the ark, when Noah sees the hope for going outside again, God is speaking to him once more.  I've got to wonder if Noah was a little bit anxious about God speaking to him now.  After all, the last time God spoke to him, it was to tell him to go into the ark with all the animals and his family before the rain started.  Now that's finally over and God is speaking to him once more.
