Job 10

Job 10:22 A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness.' "

Job has had it. H is depressed. He is worn out. He is tired of living. Mr. Dotson made a good point yesterday when he was teaching the Jr. High. The one thing that makes us different from everything else is that God specifically breathed life into us. Were it not for God we would cease to exist.

I think everybody reaches a point in their life where the question living. It seems that evrything is going against them. Life is no longer fun and you feel like you are in everybody's way. God tells us what the best antidepresent is, "A joyful heart is good medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones." True happiness is found one place only and that is in Jesus Christ. Too often we spend our time thinking and praying about how Jesus could make us happy rather than just being happy with Him. Have you ever just told the Lord that you are content with just having Him?

"Rejoice in the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever!" Take a moment to thank God for everything He is in your life. It is the best cure for feeling down.

This is it...

Lineinsand is now open...If you have any thoughts please comment below.

The name comes from a number of inspirations. Most notably I think of my Lord and Savior, the first Person recorded to draw His thoughts in the sand (See John 8). Secondly, I think of Michael Card's book and commentary on this event (Scribbling in the Sand: Christ and Creativity). Finally, the term "line in sand" is where we get the phrase, "draw the line." I suppose this is where I can express my thoughts, dragging my digital staff upon the smooth surface of e-sand.

Without further ado, this where I draw the line in the sand...
