When We Do Shameful Things

We pause a moment in the epic of Joseph and the saga of Israel to reflect on a somewhat seedy account in Genesis 38.  If you've ever feared something getting out there, something shameful, this passage is a reminder that you aren't the only one.  It's a concern as ancient as Adam and Eve, but in order to be bound up and healed, we need to know, what does God want for us?  How can this weight be lifted?  Listen to find out.  

 

At the end of the podcast I am sharing four hymns that I recorded previously, in commemoration of Trinity Sunday, and Memorial Day.  

Three of the hymns are in the public domain, but #941, We Praise You and Aknowledge You, O God has a tune in the public domain, but the text is by Stephen P. Starke, and admin of CPH.  1999.
