Then Job answered:
"Today also my
complaint is bitter;
his hand
is heavy despite my groaning.
O that I knew
where I might find him,
that I
might come even to his dwelling!
I would
lay my case before him,
and
fill my mouth with arguments.
I would learn
what he would answer me,
and
understand what he would say to me.
Would he
contend with me in the greatness of his
power?
No; but he would give
heed to me.
There an upright person could
reason with him,
and I
should be acquitted for ever by my
judge.
"If I go forward, he is not
there;
or backward, I
cannot perceive him;
on the left he
hides, and I cannot behold
him;
I turn to the right,
but I cannot see him.
"God has
made my heart faint;
the
Almighty has terrified me;
If only I
could vanish in
darkness,
and thick
darkness would cover my face!"

The inability to
open up to hope is what blocks trust,
and blocked trust is
the reason for blighted dreams.

Elizabeth Gilbert
Hope is both the
earliest and the most indispensable
virtue inherent in
the state of being alive.
If life is to be
sustained hope must remain,
even where
confidence is wounded, trust impaired.

Gretchen (on the left) and
I joined her daughter, Heather, for the Race at 7:00 a.m.
Needless to say, we
walked. About 58,000 people were in the
Race.
I had already been sent a
Survivor T-shirt; after the race,
I was given a Survivor hat
with a one-year ribbon and two lovely
pink roses.
We joined Heather's office
group afterwards for breakfast at Dixon's.
Her boss, Dr. Asela Russell
(center), treated us all!
JAK was exhausted from
watching the exciting Bronco game Sunday afternoon.
This big guy was right by
the side of the road early Monday morning on my way
to Painted Toe.
I opened my window and said, "Good Morning," and he
responded
with a very loud bugle!!!
Bryce was very proud that
HE could bring a painting to show our Breakfast
group!
Jackie, Jeanne, Oralie, and
I saw Miss Saigon on Wednesday evening.
A wonderful
production!!!
Trust
everybody,
but cut the
cards.

Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Previous OPQs may be found at:
As he was setting out
on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher,
what must I do to inherit eternal life?" ... Jesus, looking at him,
loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the
money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many
possessions.
