Welcome

Welcome to "Journey with Job"!  This will be a community space for all people to share their thoughts, reflections, and questions about the biblical book of Job.  We can share our moments of outrage and our moments of comfort.  Job is a complicated and beautiful book.  You might love Job (sometimes I do).  You might find it confusing (I often do).  You might not like the book of Job at all (sometimes I'm in this boat).  Feel free to share any and all feelings here.  There's no "perfect way" or "right way" to feel.  Our goal is just to journey through this book together and see what God will teach us along the way!

I was searching for a Lenten discipline, and stumbled across the book of Job last week.  I'll be reading about 1 chapter a day, and then posting a brief reflection here on the blog.  I'll also try to post different paintings and poetry that has been created relating to Job.  PLEASE post comments on each entry; you can always remain anonymous if you prefer.  Hopefully we can get some good dialogue going.  In order to post a comment, just click on the underlined word "comments" at the bottom of each post.  Then, you'll be able to type right into the "Comments" section.  Then click "Post Comment."

Thanks for visiting!

  1. The first thing that struck me as I tried to catch up with you was that the first two chapters are prose and then it turns into poetry. Why? in Chapter 3:20-22 Job asks to die so that his misery is gone. I think of people that I have known that die of cancer. They are also wishing for the end to come and "rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave". When I got to Chapter 5 I wasn't sure who is talking? My bible heading says, "Job is disciplined by God". Is it God talking? or Job?

    quickly see that it's foolish to put all the income from your Internet marketing blog in one proverbial basket. The more topics you cover the more you will be read. General availability of RSS Button Make a RSS button widely available for any blog traffic that lands on your internet site.

  3. Mucous membranes, skin, pharynx or esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder or genitals are the most common areas of infection.
    Take this and insert it vaginally for 30 minutes 2
    times a day. Once you perceive your Candida infection condition, as
    a disease that needs to be fixed from the root and not just put patches
    on, the more serious and devoted you become as to what measures you should take to handle it.

  4. Smartlipo laser assisted liposuction melts those stubborn pockets of fat and tightens the skin.

    And also some of the underweight people are also such complaints.
    Also, if you are being treated by a physician for any type of medical condition,
    it is important to let the office know.

  5. These oils have been tested and proven to be effective against
    a variety of warts. After all, they can be readily sourced from
