Good Morning “Happily Mocked”. Today we are in Job 12.  Job continues to do his best to set his friends straight.  He’s essentially telling them, “You’re stating the obvious.  Who on Earth doesn’t know the things you are stating about God.  You’re spewing facts, but they don’t apply here.”  They don’t get it.  They’re blinded by their own arrogance, they’re enlightened, woke even.  You see there r...  Read More
