"In the young adult Bible study at my
parish (conducted on Zoom during the current crisis) we have been
reading through the Book of Genesis. Most recently, we've been studying
the story of Joseph the Patriarch. Genesis 41 features the memorable

this story gave us an opportunity to discuss the anxiety brought about
by the pandemic, with a particular focus on the fact that most of us
were caught unprepared.
"Let's ponder a very simple yet often-forgotten principle taught in Chapter 41 of Genesis."

Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of saving for unanticipated events.
