It's been a while since I posted anything here, but maybe better that you come look occasionally than I send too many emails... 

M'Cheyne for today: Gen 48; Lk 1:39-80; Job 14; 1Co 2

Intricate Connections: A strange scene in which Jacob claims Joseph's children as his own and then blesses the "wrong" one. What stood out to me was Genesis 48:7 - I recalled Rachel weeping for her children in some other passages - a quick Google search connected the dots (this is a somewhat random Bible study software site, but the references seem solid - and you may want to check parts 1 and 2 as well) - https://www.accordancebible.com/Why-Is-Rachel-Weeping-At-Ramah-Part-3
