Four score and 7 years ago…
OK…it was more like 20+ years ago, when I was in Bible college, I was forced to take a public speaking class. After all, we were all going into ministry and at some point, we would have to talk in front of people.
On this day it was my turn to give my speech in front of the whole class, which looking back was probably less than 10 people (all the sophomore class music majors took the class together.)

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like NOT knowing things.
That actress in this movie we’re watching look familiar? I Gotta hop on IMDB and see what other movie I know her from.
Watching the Olympics and wonder how many gold medals Simone Biles has versus her next competition? Hello Google.
Because I can’t translate imperial to the metric system? SEARCH: How many miles in an 8k race?
You get my point.

If you know me in real life, you know that I am a total music theater nerd, and I am raising 2/3 of my kids to joyfully belt out everything from “Phantom of the Opera” to “Defying Gravity” to “Waving Through a Window” to “Memories.” {I don’t know what’s wrong with my oldest…the only musical he can stand is “Hamilton!}
But… there is one musical I’ve heard about for years, but have never actually listened to: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (great name, right?)

Lately, in my studies and journaling, I have been obsessed with the book of Isaiah. I know… not the sexiest book of the bible. We tend to skip over the old guys at the beginning and move to the hip disciples who knew Jesus personally and scream about salvation and the Holy Spirit.
But I think Isaiah gets a bad rap. You apply the word “prophet” to something or Old Testament and automatically things go downhill in your imagination.
Today, I want to share one of my favorite scriptures from Isaiah, but first… let’s get a little backstory.
