Job: Quick Summary

Not so much a story as it is a discussion on why bad things happen to good people. After God and Satan have a talk about why people praise God and are good, they use Job as a test. Job is robbed of his good life and although he curses the day he was born and is very upset, he doesn't lose faith in God. He gets involved in a discussion with 3 of his acquaintances where each gives their thoughts on why Job and others have bad things happen to them. A youth steps forward after them and offers his thoughts on wisdom and trying to decipher God's intentions. Finally, God chimes in and states that there are many things that mankind cannot know or understand. He then makes amends with Job, restores his good life, and blesses the remainder of his life even more than he had blessed the time before the difficulties.

398 - The Temptations - Anthology

I enjoyed this collection (both discs) a lot more than I have the other Motown collections I've listened to so far. The Temptations' stayed relevant for enough years that there isn't a big drop in the quality of songs at the beginning of the collection and the latter releases at the end of the collection. The album is fairly split with the first disc highlighting the Motown-sound era of the group. The second disc sees the group evolve in a soul sound. Even though it was a couple of hours worth of music, I was never more than a few songs away from a song I knew.

Songs I knew I liked: "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl," "Don't Look Back," "Get Ready," "Ain't To Proud to Beg," "I Wish It Would Rain," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," "I Can't Get Next to You," "Ball of Confusion," "Just My Imagination," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," Treat Her Like a Lady"

Songs I didn't know but now like: "What Love Has Joined Together," "Since I Lost My Baby," "Beauty is Only Skin Deep," "(I Know) I'm Losing You," "All I Need," "It's You That I Need," "Cloud 9," "Psychedelic Shack," and "A Song For You"

Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: "The Impossible Dream"
