I've always felt a little bad for Job. Here's this righteous man of God who's so amazing that the Lord actually brags about him (Job 1:8 "8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job?

Who’s in Control?
Reactive, by definition is the tendency to react or to be characterized by reactance. I think most people I know fall into the category of chronic reactors.
