As a photographer (no, my best work is not posted on this website =) ), I personally would have welcomed the opportunity to be paid to shoot the “wedding” in question after first asking that these women selflessly go elsewhere to find a photographer for the sake of my conscience and sense of moral duty. Because I can think of one hundred ways to do poorly done photography and I would have had plenty of fun in the process of putting it all together. It’s like the fun you had as a child when you would draw mustaches and funny eyebrows over photos of people: good stuff.
Over at http://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/bible-verse-of-the-day/ this was the verse of the day:
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. (Genesis 50.20, ESV)
I wonder how many Arminians, post-Arminians, Pelagians and semi-Pelagians would deny that the events of 9/11 or the death of Trayvon Martin, for two instances, are events that God meant for good, to bring about that many people be blessed. After all, people were saying right after those events that the events were not of God, yet what good reason would Joseph have for saying that his ordeal was meant for good if his statement here--which Christians accept as being true--is not believed to be a prophetic utterance? In Joseph’s mind was it a given fact that all events are things which God means for good, to bring about that many people be blessed?
