What's up everybody?  I'm doing good!  Aside from the fact that I think I'm getting a cold... I'm doing quite well... everything's looking up, and that's good!  We have our first football game with the band tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that.  I'm also looking forward to hopefully seeing Snow Patrol on Sunday night... although still trying to figure out a way to get there.

Last night I went to the first Otterbein Christian Fellowship meeting... and it was really cool!  They're looking for people who can help out with worship and stuff... when I started talking to the girls in charge, they were like freaking out they were so excited about having me involved.  I'm really looking forward to it... it should be really cool.

I realized that I never posted my thoughts on Job 2... so tonight y'all get 2 and 3 at the same time:

So when I read chapter 2 on Wednesday night... that really hit me hard.  In that chapter... Satan gets to go after Job again... so he covers him in sores... head to foot.  So here's a guy who has just lost absolutely everything he has, and now he's covered in sores.  His wife tells him to curse God and he WON'T do it, that's faith!  So he's sitting in the ruins of his estate, scraping his sores with a broken pot, when his friends show up.  This is so cool right here, I'm going to quote it directly: "Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights.  And no one said a word, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words."  Now THAT'S friendship!  These guys knew that at that time, it was more important for them to just be there for their friend than to say anything... it reminded me just how lucky I am to have the friends I have.

So last night I read Chapter 3... and I'll admit, it didn't do much for me... but it's important to the story.  In this chapter, Job finally speaks, not necessarily to his friends, but they are there with him.  He curses the day he was born... he's basically calling out to God saying "Hey, why was I born?  I'd rather not be alive than deal with this!"  The big point for me in this chapter is that even with all of that... he doesn't blame God for anything.  This guy is a real servant for God... let me tell you... more tomorrow on Chapter 4
