Shout Out to Joseph Study

Today I worked on a devotional for our staff team using Genesis 39:20-23 (page 96.9-14 for the LoJ folk) where God has favor on Joseph in jail. I'm primarily reflecting on Joseph's 'hopeful activity'--how Joseph neither falls into mindless work or into spiritual fatalism. As I've reflected on the past few weeks and how difficult it has been for me to work at Fuller I'm convicted of my own need to work hard in the situation that I am in and trust God's hand and movement in that, even as I dream of moving from this situation onto something new.

Then I looked at today's Dilbert comic and laughed... hopefully this is what I'm avoiding.
