On the way to work this morning, I got into a wreck. As always, those kinds of things are very frustrating. When I got into work after the accident, I sat down at my computer to read my bible and, of all things, I found that I had gotten to Job 1. I was hating life before I started reading, but Job lost virtually everything and maintained a right attitude toward God. We have all been through these kinds of things before. They are not fun and they require lots of additional time and effort, but you get through them and life is good again. The difference between Job and I is that Job was innocent when Satan was tormenting him. Most of the time, when I get myself into a situation that makes my life uncomfortable, it is because I brought it on myself. I have turned in all the information to the insurance company and now I am waiting for the adjuster to call. It will be well into next week before I am able to get the pickup in to be fixed. Life goes on…
