Today, we began our study of the life of Jacob's son Joseph in Genesis, chapter 37. There are many important spiritual lessons to be learned in studying the life of Joseph and there are also many practical lessons, as well. Anyone who is or aspires to be in a supervisory, management or administrative role should undertake a study of him.
Rie has been working on her clapping skills. Her Dad Bob explains that she has a portfolio of claps. There's the general clap of happiness/excitement, an attention-getting clap and even an angry clap. We've also noticed a warning clap, which is what she gives when she wants...er, demands...to be picked up. You get the angry clap if you make the mistake of putting her down....she doesn't like that. You grow girl!
After our fellowship meal, someone made bishu ("bee - shoo"). It can be made with various ingredients and our kids usually use a powdered soup base that contains tamarind, which is somewhat sour. They add tabasco or other hot pepper sauce to it and sometimes unsweetened Kool Aid or other powdered drink mix for an extra measure of sourness. The result is a powdery mix that is both very sour and spicy hot. They dip raw veggies into it and it's always a big hit. Here is a group diving into it.
