The book of James is a very good book in the Bible. I have studied it with the children and with the young adults. I jus tlove the book of James. James tells of many ways to live, and how to do things that are pleasing to God in a sinful world. One thing I love about this book is James instructs us to do something that I don't really think we do as often as we should. Pray. Not just pray before a meal and before we go to sleep. Take time to just bow down before the Lord and cry out to Him; listen to His voice; search for His calling for you; and feel His love for you; just feel His loving arms wrap around you. Pray like Jesus prayed in the garden when He wept before God. Cry in the Spirit, for the Spirit understands what we are saying even if we have no words at all.
James also instructs us to pray for others. Lift others up in prayer. When was the last time you prayed for someone other than yourself or those closest to you. Lift up our leaders, the staff at your church, our military. Pray for them, lift them up in prayer so that God may send a coat of protection and a sence of encouragement upon them.

Nice words. This really shows the wise side of you. Not that you don't always seem wise. Oh forget it. I've already dug myself a hole and jumped it with both feet.
