Well, today has been quite interesting, quite interesting indeed...

First of all my Dad came down tonight, which was nice, because I needed some stuff from Columbus Pro that I could NOT afford on my own.  But I'm good now... just wish I didn't have all this math homework every night!  We also went to Skyline for dinner... good stuff, been too long!

Kerri and I had another long walk/talk tonight.  Things are starting to make sense again... I was so lost without her... unbelievable... the change that can take place in just a couple of days, hours even is amazing to me.  In any case, I have her back, as a friend at least...

Last night I let my Bible fall open like I always do, and it landed on the book of Job.  The very beginning of the book.  And I thought to myself "Hey, this is a book about a guy that Satan really had some fun with.  He tested him and tested him and Job was strong in his faith.  I should read this whole book."  Then I preceeded to realize how long the book was... not happening at 1:30 in the morning.  So I've decided to do a chapter a night until I've read the whole book... I'm studying Job, y'all!  I'll post thoughts and comments up here each day, most likely.  Here's what I've got from last night:

In this first chapter... Job's basically a great guy, he never does anything wrong, he's like the model follower of God.  God's bragging about him to Satan, and Satan says "Hey, let me test him and see how he does."  God says sure, cause after all, Job's great.  Satan takes everything Job has away from him at ONCE... this isn't gradual, all at once.  Job's kind of upset... but he says "The Lord gave me everything I had, and the Lord has taken away.  Praise the name of the Lord!"  And he NEVER blames God.  Job realizes that anything we have comes from and belongs to God anyways, so we'd might as well shut up and accept it.

'Night, everybody.
