Potshard All In God's Plan

Sun hardened clay molded into a vessel broken in time Reinvented as a scratching tool... Job Jaw bone of destruction death begats death Weapon of mass destruction In a mighty man's hands... Jail bird, registered sex offender Interpreter of dreams Favorite servant of a king Saved a mighty nation during a deadly famine.... Do you know these people??

Well-written Doris but there's a little bit of each in me so, I dare not point my finger at any. We're just grateful that The Potter uses the broken clay to make new ones. Great job as usual. Always, Annalise

The second verse describes Samson while the third verse tells about Joseph. Is the person in the first verse Moses? Good write.

Well, you gave us a very good clue on the first one..Then there is Samson, and Joseph...Enjoyed your version of the "Biblical" stories..Your presence at my work was delight that lifted my spirits..Mom

Not only do these people leap at us from the gospel, I am in all of them and all of them in me, but for the grace of God. I feel you, Doris.
