Job 17:2 I swear, am I not surrounded by mockers?    With their provocations, my eyes dwell without rest.   I had to deal with AI today while getting ready to write this. The program said someone in my organization had asked for CoPilot. I found that hard to believe since I am the only… Continue reading Study of Job 17:2 – #398 Mockers

Job 17:1 My spirit is crushed,    My days burnt out,      Only the grave awaits me.   My friend gave me the book Atomic Habits.

Job 16:20 Are my companions my intercessors?    To God does my eye pour out its tears?   I had the thought that as the big kid goes off to school this weekend (for the last time), I will finally be able to get into a routine.

Job 16:18 O earth, cover not my blood,    Let my cry have no resting place.   As I have widened my path to find rare baseball cards, I have noticed some tricks that people play on Facebook and Instagram to get you to click on their post.

Job 16:17 Though there was no injustice on my hands,    And my prayer was pure.   As I was trying to sleep, I remembered this phrase from something I read that I understood to be a dig on religion.
