job 22:21-30

21-25 "Give in to God, come to terms with him
   and everything will turn out just fine.
Let him tell you what to do;
   take his words to heart.
Come back to God Almighty
   and he'll rebuild your life.
Clean house of everything evil.
   Relax your grip on your money
   and abandon your gold-plated luxury.
God Almighty will be your treasure,
   more wealth than you can imagine.

 26-30 "You'll take delight in God, the Mighty One,
   and look to him joyfully, boldly.
You'll pray to him and he'll listen;
   he'll help you do what you've promised.
You'll decide what you want and it will happen;
   your life will be bathed in light.
To those who feel low you'll say, 'Chin up! Be brave!'
   and God will save them.
Yes, even the guilty will escape,
   escape through God's grace in your life."

from The Message, emphasis added.

    Thank you for your scripture texts. Also, I am sure you were disappointed about the barracuda as you like to try new foods. Now if I could just get you to eat a salad!

    Hi, Seth,
    This is Aunt Gigi, trying again. I am so enjoying your journaling, and want to tell you that you have a real gift with words...and wit.
    Sorry I mailed those two anvils before you warned us about them. God bless, dear nephew, and may He keep you in His care.
