Future
Sermon podcast from yesterday at St. Paul's UCC in Downers Grove, IL. Genesis 29:15-28. I can't believe this is a Sunday School story. And yup. It kind of does sound like another week at the White House.

Serves you right
Here's this week's Bible reflection.
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of the young, scheming, dishonest Jacob. In this week’s reading from Genesis 29:15-28, where the schemer is outschemed by the one who would become his father-in-law, I start to get a little bit of satisfaction.
He had it coming to him. He deserved to be tricked. If I were there, I could have said, “I told you so!”
I’m so glad that that’s not the way God works.
There’s a whole lot in this week’s reading that bothers me.

- Women treated like property
- “The ugly one” and “the pretty one”
- “Oops – I didn’t realize I was sleeping with your sister.”
- “Can I have another wife, too?”
- “He he he – I know you’ll do anything for her – so I’ll get what I can from you by whatever means necessary!”
