Joseph was hated for his dreams.
Many want and just expect stuff to be handed to them I suppose. No concept about the need for and beauty of observation and follow-through.
Ingenuity *is* life on Mars. Here's the difficult labor (8-9 days!) and birth:
This GIF shows each step of the Ingenuity helicopter deploying from the belly of NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover from March 26 to April 3, 2021. The final image shows the helicopter on the ground after the rover drove about 13 feet (4 meters) away.Well not complete just quite yet. Little Ginny, BIG Surprises, starting with my tagline. :)
Watch people freak when the information about DAVID Seeds becomes so obvious that even (or only) a small child could understand:
Yankee Ingenuity. The dark side by nature can't see it coming. Speaking of Mars, the name Mordecai even provides a tip.
Funny! Flora knew exactly where to stand (in the field of golden scepters) in order to look up.. and that was 12 years ago. Full circle, from ox to ox. Yet people sure can be stubborn.
It's a weird little world out there.
*Embrace* it!
Heh, that reminds me of the mystery surrounding the name of the prophet Habakkuk. Who was that guy? Nobody can say, or can even pin down the meaning of his name.
The tradition is that he was the son of the Shunammite woman, the boy Elisha raised from the dead. And connected is the meaning of Habukkuk's name, interpreted as being similar to "embrace", for the appearance of the unusual verb in the narrative about this promised son.
Now over here from the perspective of a small child (you know how kids "mis-hear" things)...
The name is a no-brainer:
Habakkuk and a smile.
Coke ADDS LIFE.
It's an iconic red sign. Can you believe those corporate prophets?!
The boy is quoted as saying one thing. It was when he was out in the field with his father at harvest time:
"My head, my head!"
Oy, see what I mean? ;)
I'm tellin' ya, people are soon going to learn to respect the Big Boss.
Nobody gets out of here alive. "Stop! You're killing me!"
Nobody should be saying that at the comedy club because that's why they went there in the first place.
If Sol finds out, he'll kill me. (Samuel the Prophet)
A Sol - it's pronounced like "Saul" - is a Mars-Day.
Habakkuk 2 (continuing from Chapter 1)
1. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved:
2. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, so that he who reads it may run:
3. For the vision is still for an appointed time, and it speaks concerning the end, and does not lie; though it seems slow, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not come late:
4. Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him; but the just shall live by his faith:

Habakkuk and a smile!
