I got distracted watching Vella play Minecraft later in the day.
Today we started Job.We were wondering how you are supposed to pronounce Job.We couldn’t figure out. It would be hard not to blame God or sin after what happened to him. Mom pointed out that in the bible it says he didn’t blame God or sin so does that mean that blaming God isn’t a sin? That doesn’t make sense. How could that be true? We have nothing to blame God for that isn’t for the greater good. Right? Isn’t God the one who made the earth, the heavens, us, and everything in between? He’s the one who loves us and cares for us. Everything bad that He ever lets happen to us isn’t actually bad. Right?
Tashkent is in Uzbekistan. Tashkent means city of stone. I was wondering if it is made out of stone or if there is a lot of stone around the place that the city is built. There are more than 2 million people living in Tashkent.
