Obscurity is the fate of most men. Some travel a road that’s level and predictable, well posted with directions and destinations. Some build roads that cut through mountains of solid rock, and build bridges that span canyons and rivers, with nothing but determination and calloused hands. Some men travel roads up mountainsides carrying backpacks filled with dreams and hopes, up lanes with a promise that will heal blistered feet and tattered answers. Some men find contentment with where they are and treat inconspicuousness as confirmation of purpose not measured on any scale. One such man was Joseph from the lineage of David - destined to be the earthly father of Jesus.
