Out of Egypt:

listening to "brazil" and thinking back on the week

Despite my theological acumen, today still proved to be a rather discouraging day. Or, more accurately, I was discouraged already going into it, and that made it hard to get through. Anyway, I'm glad it's over with now.

Strange how in just a few days you can go from not expecting a large sum of money to viewing it as your entitlement, from being happy at a gift to being depressed at your expenses, which will, at the worst, bring you back to where you were before the gift was given.

I hope I never have to stand in Job's shoes. Experience indicates that I would be more willing to "curse God and die" than he was.
