I’ve had my first Blog request! This from a friend of mine today: Do you take requests? Blog topic: The Book of Job. I was listening to NPR today and they were talking about people’s search for meaning across time and circumstance in this old testament book. It got me to thinking what YOU would…

I used to worry a lot. Given the dysfunction of my family there was a lot to worry about, such as would we have a place to live today? Would we eat tonight? Would there be electricity when I get home from school? Did the cops come pick up dad and haul him off to…

I went to YouTube the other day to listen to my favorite Hymn, It Is Well with My Soul. I found several artists who had sung it but I was eager to hear the Wintley Phipps version. If you’ve never heard this guy you should YouTube him. He’s a gospel singer with a deep, rich,…

What do Oprah Winfrey and Jase Robertson of Duck Dynasty have in common? If you’ve been keeping up with the news you know that both recently were judged based on their looks – Oprah allegedly being denied the opportunity to purchase an expensive bag in a shop in Sweden because being black the shop keep…

One of my favorite books in scripture is the book of Job (pronounced with a long O like toad). It is thought to be the oldest book of the Bible written somewhere between 2000-1800 B.C. – roughly 4,000 years ago. It deals with man’s greatest question in the world – human suffering. I think I…
