Job is the one character, the one book, most of us wish was not in the bible. We don’t ever want to consider his lot falling to us. Don’t even go there. It’s a hard story with hard truth and some of it is hard to grasp. But, The God Dare is in the Job story too. Job was one of the biblical ‘good guys’ in fact he was,

Monthly Round-up, A Viral Post and a Frittata
It’s been crazy what’s been going on with my blog this month! I want to keep you up to date and also, welcome my new subscribers! I’m thrilled you’re following my blog and I promise, I won’t clutter your inbox! I usually post 2, sometimes 3 times a week, either healthy and easy recipes or my thoughts and ponderings about God and what He’s teaching me. Plus, I’m blessed to be able to write for 3 other sites each month and I like to give you a chance to see those posts as well. Thus my ‘monthly roundup’!

I thought I knew God’s ways but I don’t understand how this happened. There was so much prayer and faith, and belief.
