Greetings! Thoughts about Sivin's sermon (on tape, that is)

Whoa. Is it quiet here ... :) Okay, I will make some noise.

I was sad I couldn't make it this Sunday. The reason is so duh. I woke up at nearly 11am on Sunday. How sad is that? It was a bit perplexing because I purposely slept at the right time so that I could wake up in time, but it didn't work because the sun was hidden behind a thick blanket of clouds. Therefore, being a sun-based kind of creature, I woke up when the sun "rose" around 11. Sheesh.

I hope everyone is doing all right! I hope to see you guys next week. I will set the alarm clock this time!

I heard Sivin's sermon, A Life Without Answers and surprise, surprise, he was talking about the book of Job, my current "most read" book of the bible. (And that is, sadly, not saying much.) There were a lot of significant things Sivin said, and it does make me realise how little I know about God, and how little upstart me is like Job, demanding answers when I probably can't comprehend them. God could've easily asked me: "Were you there when I created the Earth?"

Sadly, I've not read the last chapter of Job like Sivin said we should, so have not gotten the whole "gist" of the story. On the whole, the book of Job is something I can definitely relate to; Job's questions and laments, and the words of his friends ... all I've heard before (from my own lips and from the lips of others).
