Job Vacancy

8 Feb 2007 | public | email this page

Now my blog is not strictly about Jobs.....

Yesterday I was reading through my bible and wanted to read a chapter from Job.  To my amazement, Job was missing.  Now I know sometimes its hard to find books in the bible (especially the really small ones like 1 John and 1 Peter) but Job I was pretty sure is quite a large book in the bible - over 40 chapters long!

The bible which I had raved about to all my pastorate buddies had one major flaw!  (It is pretty special as it contains the TNIV and the Message side by side on each page - two translations in one!!) They'd missed out Job!

As you can imagine - I have bought a new bible.

A pretty bad 'JOB' eh?  Ha ha.

That's a bit of an oversight! I have one of those TNIV/Message parallel bibles so I just went and checked and mine has Job in its usual place! Have you tried taking it back and exchanging it?

Maybe I could but I bought it six months ago at Home Focus!  I am not sure I should admit to that!  It lets people know that I have not checked the depth and breadth of my bible!!  In my defence - most of my reading is in the new testament! Louise xx

That makes me feel a bit better!!!  I do wonder though.  There may be other books missing!  Maybe I should do a thorough check!
