    Working in the midst of people who respect, admire, appreciate, like and love you is always great; however, the challenge is to survive and serve people who just don’t know you at all, who mock you, despise you and criticize you.

    Made of different material Exodus 1:8 “Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.”(NIV) “New king, to whom Joseph meant nothing”, these words jolted me today!

It seems that many people who know little else about the Bible can quote that particular passage. Perhaps it is familiar and frequently quoted ...read more
