A reflection by Rev. M P Klingensmith on Joseph the Carpenter and moral character. The meditation contrasts headlines of violence with quiet acts of faith, charity, and restraint. It notes Vietnam, Wisconsin lab shootings, and campus tragedies to emphasize that true praise comes from God, not public recognition. It concludes that God guides those who seek to serve others toward peace and joy.
