The story of Jacob is the story of a person living for himself, deceiving his father and father in law. In between we find him with a stone for a pillow, a sign that his life had reached rock bottom. Yet what we find is that despite his circumstances God was with him. The story is a reminder that God has not abandoned us to a world that is disenchanted, but one where the sacred can be found in living out of our ordinary lives.
