b'This episode is for the lectionary from\\xa0October 21 \\u2014 after recording this episode, Brian had a death in the family and was unable to publish it on schedule but we wanted you to hear it.\\nScripture is filled with folks wrestling with their place in their universe and their relationship with each other and that which is bigger than themselves. We are hungry to find meaning. In this episode, we explore how that plays out in Job.\\nJob 38:1-7, 34-38\\nThen the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:\\nWho is this darkening counsel\\nwith words lacking knowledge?\\nPrepare yourself like a man;\\nI will interrogate you, and you will respond to me.\\nThe establishing of order\\nWhere were you when I laid the earth\\u2019s foundations?\\nTell me if you know.\\nWho set its measurements? Surely you know.\\nWho stretched a measuring tape on it?\\nOn what were its footings sunk;\\nwho laid its cornerstone,\\nwhile the morning stars sang in unison\\nand all the divine beings shouted?\\nCan you issue an order to the clouds\\nso their abundant waters cover you?\\nCan you send lightning so that it goes\\nand then says to you, \\u201cI\\u2019m here\\u201d?\\nWho put wisdom in remote places,\\nor who gave understanding to a rooster?\\nWho is wise enough to count the clouds,\\nand who can tilt heaven\\u2019s water containers\\nso that dust becomes mud\\nand clods of dirt adhere?\\nThe post Making Meaning \\u2013 Job 38:1-7, 34-38 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
