Read More Genesis: 46 – It Will Be Alright“We both had dreams,” they answered, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.” (Genesis 40:8) I am reminded of the scenario where two people with similar ailments sit at a waiting room and share the similarity of their symptoms. The first […]
