Joseph is in Egypt. He has risen to the head of Potiphar’s household, and fallen to the depths of prison. But as this roller coaster ride of a story teaches, those who are in the depths will rise to great heights. His fame as an interpreter of dreams brings him to Pharoah who tells him of his troubling dreams. Here’s one of them:
Pharaoh dreams of cows and of wheat
Fat, lean, sickly and sweet
His advisors all fail
But Joseph, in jail
Interprets and is back on his feet
