Job 1 and 2

What can we learn about humanity?

The most obvious, and most likely the most prevalent to show up on people’s blogs, is that bad things happen to both good and bad people. Job was fearful of God and performed good tasks constantly to appease God, and prevent any mishaps to him and his family. Despite the sacrifices and steady loyalty, Job still lost hiis family and his livestock.

What can we learn about God?

God seems a bit over confident. I don’t have much to say on this subject.

What can we learn about relationships?

God shows trust in Job by proposing a test for him, but he seems a wee bit foolhardy telling Satan to test him. God does seem careless to Jobs Feeligs, because he gave permission to Satan to kioll his family. Also, God and Satan are always portrayed as opposites, but they both seem to get along.

What can we learn about Job and his family?

Job seems to seperate from his family because of his moral beliefs. Job is afraid of God and sin alike. He burns sacrafices for God to give forgiveness for any sins that his kids might have committed. This either shows that the rest of his family is less uptight, or it shows that Job has a lack of trust for his kids. His wife also asks him to give up his integrity and curse God.

We’re All Mindless Followers

                The area in my life, that I can remember, when I felt that I was subjected to the “pigs”, was when I participated in the Gifford Middle School band. The “pig” in this situation would have been my band director, Mr. Anonymous. All of the students in band, decided to join because they wanted to learn music and play an instrument. Many students walked out of band not knowing anything about music. Plus, he wasn’t a very good teacher

                 Overall, Mr. A taught us very little. He taught us how to read music for about one day, and he expected us to remember for the rest of the year. Also, he barely taught us how to play our insruments, since he was only a trumpet player. It was apparent by the third year that all he wanted was more prestige for him and his program.
