36 books in the old testament, each one a special part.

sometimes you have no witty things to say. sometimes you feel a little down because you live in the city of your youth and seem to have been looking for a great job for a year without success. sometimes you open your neglected bible to the strangest name and find the perfect thing.

"though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yeild no food, the flock be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places."

way to go, Habakkuk 3: 17-19.
