Jacob's Dream
Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The “secret place of the Most High” spoken of in Psalm 91 is the place where God meets with man.
Recently I was directed in a book I was reading to look at the usage of the word “place” in Gen. 28:10-19, and based on that passage to look at what might be the characteristics of the “place” where God meets with man.
The passage deals with Jacob and God. We first hear of this man Jacob in Genesis 25. Jacob is the son of Isaac who is the son of Abraham. Often in the OT we see God referred to as “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”.
Abraham, a picture of the Fatherhood of God.
Isaac, a picture of the Son of God, Jesus.
And Jacob, a picture of man. (more…)

I’ve recently started back in web design, after a hiatus based on the fact that I’d rather be illustrating. In researching some current design issues, I came across this great blog entry that I thought would be of interest to all working mothers, and anyone pondering issues of women’s equality and gender roles. (And for the designers here at Lamb, a great blog in general!)
Design Observer article by Michael Beirut
It is very interesting to me, because it states the obvious, as much as we would like it to be different: That the reason there are so few female “superstars” in the design world is because of the choice of many female designers to leave the field for a time, or at least slow down their self-promotion, to focus on raising families.
The glass ceiling is a very real thing, i believe, but I do believe it is true that family vs. career is often an either-or thing for women.
As always, I invite your comments.
