Job...with a long "o"

As I posted back in December, I am reading through the book of Job. After about a month and a half and reading over and over each word and chapter carefully, I have finally finished it. It probably shouldn't have taken me that long but I kinda love that it took me that long. I am so amazed by this book! Here are some of my thoughts...
At first, I thought Job's friends had some good points. (5:17-18; 34:19,21; 37:14) I then continued to read on and their words soon become too ridiculous for words. (chapter 36 says it all) I also admire for Job's responses. (9:12; 12:13; 13:15; 14:5; 19:25-27; 42:2) Even though the worst things have happened to him, he continues to put his faith in Christ and not in his friends. One of the most amazing things I read (and I made sure to share with all my roommates), was 38:31-32. God talks about constellations. Not only are these constellations that He just mentions but they still exist! We even now look into the sky and see His marvelous works that he talks about thousands of years ago! How amazing is that! It puts me in awe and wonder of how else He connects the world back then to things of this day and age.

Sleep stories

I never thought of myself as a heavy sleeper. I guess I should have guessed from all the sleep talking and walking that I'm not much a light sleeper. Several times this semester and any other time I've had a roommate, I have been told of stories of where I was talking the night before or a few times have actually woken up in the middle of sleep walking. (Crazy experience...and I usually get super angry for some reason) haha

A couple of nights ago was added to the fact I am indeed a heavy sleeper. From what I'm told, I was up for @ least an hour or more coughing over and over again. Finally, my roommate, Callie, calls out to me and asks if I want a cough drop. I mumbled something to the effect of "yes" and in little or no time, had a cough drop in my hand. I then, rolled over and fell instantly asleep. I had no recollection of any of this happening. I was sound asleep. Weird because you would think I would at least remember coughing....

And what happened to the cough drop you might ask? I found it the next day while cleaning thrown against the wall at the foot of my bed.
