Job 26:1-29:25

Job begins his final speech to his friends by telling them that they are right. God will ultimately punish the wicked and bless the righteous. Even on this earth their is a tendency for the righteous to prosper under God’s blessing and the wicked to be brought down. But then Job asks them if they know what true wisdom is; true wisdom is fear of the Lord and forsaking evil. Job them speaks about how his fear of the Lord was the source of all his former blessing.

Weakly Meanderings

Just some stuff I came across this week…

1. An adequate NY Times article on the interplay between Huckabee’s faith and policy.

2. A suggested emerging church taxonomy.

3. What Do Declining Abortion Rates Mean for Crime in the Future?

4. I was looking up Ginger Baker for no particular reason and came across this clip from Cream performing Toad at Royal Albert Hall in 2005.

5. One individual committed $7 Billion in trading fraud. This is a week that will be looked back on and studied by finance students for decades to come.

6. Second Life’s banking crisis.

7. The events surrounding Heath Ledger’s death have just made me sad: John Gibson’s idiocy, Fred Phelps idiocy.

8. For those of you that haven’t paid too much attention to college basketball this year…ESPN considers Baylor a lock to make the tournament…that’s right…Baylor (and I must say I’m happy Kansas is playing the Bears in Lawrence this year).

Well, that’s all I’ve got. Have a great weekend.
