    Joseph, used by God to preserve a remnant

    August 15, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Genesis 45:1–15 is part of the lectionary readings for the eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, which is August 16th. Genesis 41:53-57 leaves the impression that life was busy and absorbing for Joseph, both personally and professionally. It became even more so as seven years of drought and famine began, for Pharaoh directed his starving population to go to Joseph for the food they needed to survive. The famine extended even to Canaan and affected its inhabitants. Moreover, chapters 42–44 reveal that as the situation worsened throughout the Fertile Crescent, Jacob was forced to send his remaining sons (except for Joseph’s full brother, Benjamin) to Egypt to buy grain for the family.…

    On The Eve of America’s Birthday – “In God We Trust”?

    July 3, 2013 / Comments Off on On The Eve of America’s Birthday – “In God We Trust”?

    The highlight of attending my husband’s 50th class reunion from West Point this May was reconnecting with classmates and hearing their stories. Many have been in significant contributory roles of service since graduation. Impressive was the ongoing commitment they have to the values they subscribed to as cadets upon entering the academy – “duty, honor and country”.
