This Is Not Joseph's Dream



There are some people who will refuse to do everything that a 'Jewish' person might do today, and a lot of Jewish people might be reading about Joseph's troubles in Egypt today. I actually had this dream, and will interpret it:

I, Marie, was asked to babysit for a young girl named 'Miranda' who was about 10 years old on a Saturday while her parents went shopping. At about 10AM, Miranda did not choose to remain near me, nor near my household and I did not panic. I waited to see if Miranda would return on her own where her parents expected her to be, but she didn't. During the day, a fire caused damage to Miranda's home area in Knowlton, but not to the babysitter's area in Milwaukee. The fire did not destroy all of the farmland that Miranda's parents normally worked on every Saturday because they continually refused to rest on Saturday, and Miranda's parents were heading toward Milwaukee to gather up MIranda.

Since Miranda was missing, I decided to ask a police officer on duty to file a missing person's report at 4PM. Miranda had plenty of time to use her right not to remain silent, I never heard Miranda scream as if she was getting snatched away by an intruder. If I had tried to force Miranda to stay near me without a court order giving me temporary custody of her on a  regular 7th day sabbath , I might have been charged will child abuse or battery to a disobedient minor.  The grouchy Milwaukee police officer labeled 'Fred Schultz' took the report near the corner of south 31st and Scott street, claiming it would have been better if I had made the report earlier.
..................................................................
Intrepretation of the Marie's dream, not MIranda'a nightmare:

1. Since Miranda was old enough to know she should have stayed near the woman her parents had trusted her with, Miranda's fate, whether good or bad, is Miranda's fault because she strayed away from her temporary 'security guard' chosen by her parents .
2. Since Miranda's parents never did trust Yahweh's plan for the sabbath, Yehovah did not take the 'missing person's report' and Yehovah's angels will not be searching for MIranda.
3. The fire in Knowlton was started by lightning, not by a professional boxer who happened to be an amateur dog named 'LIghtning'. Natural disasters even happened to Job's family.
4. Marie did not wait as long as the typical public school teacher to report MIranda missing from my sight. Public school students often go in a direction their parents do not know about until truancy prevention officers scoop them up somewhere. It is far more dangerous to trust your 10 year old in the typical public school than it is to trust them with an anti-sin Israelite on any day of the week.
5. Children are capable of choosing to sin and be disobedient to their God or to their parents at elementary school age, and the results of their sin affects their parents , their siblings , their babysitter and men like 'Fred Schultz'.
6. Would Miranda's fate have been different if her parents left Miranda with Kevin Costner for the regular sabbath day? Costner didn't protect Whitney Houston while he was being paid nor while he was unpaid, but unlike Marie, Costner is not anti-sin.
7. Miranda's parents took her out of her home area which is surrounded with barbed wire to a housing area where barbed wire does not surround houses. It is possible Miranda wanted to see how various properties look without barbed wire fences, and she might have started heading back toward her babysitter's house when it was dusk of her own free will, thus the outcome of a real situation is rarely identical to a dream. Abraham LIncoln did not dream about his own death, and maybe Mary Todd had such a horrible reputation for her unusual way of thinking that Abraham did not believe Mary Todd Lincoln's dream scenario would become reality.

Now, go ahead and read the Torah portions for the day or Psalm 144 and try to ignore Michael Rood's weekly salesman speeches that emit out of his South Carolina studio.
