I was just reading in Job and this verse struck me:
"I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread." Ch. 23:12
When my life is smooth sailing, that verse isn't true. "I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread." Seriously... dang Job. I think I like food too much for this ever to be true, but that's not a good enough excuse.
He spits those words out after his BBF's bash him and little incidents such as this plague him:
"So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scrapped himself with it as he sat among the ashes." Ch. 2:7-8
I'll assume most of you know Job's story and how it ends. Even if you do or don't, it's great to read and I would suggest doing it. I may add it to my Recommend Reading List. Consider it done.

This is random, but I baked a pound cake today. This is my second one I've ever made and I made the same mistake I did last time...I took it out too early. Abby and I ate the edges and they were good. The entire middle was like pudding. Thankfully this was just a test run for the one I have to make for Tuesday night. Is anyone willing to pay to have Granny Dot flown over here? I need you Granny Dot. She's the best cook ever.
In the middle of preparing dinner the other night, the electricity went off in every room except my bedroom. The good thing about having a small oven is that I can just pick it up and move it to the outlet that has electricity. Here's a pic. of the oven in my room. I'm glad my room was clean. Don't you like my bed/desk?

Good point about Job. Random question -- why the heck would Job scrap himself with broken pottery? What's the whole point of that? That's gotta hurt
