A pleasant visit
Two friends who have been gone all summer stopped in for a visit for the week since Ryan's brother is getting married saturday. Ryan and Billy made a suprise visit to the bible study. It was nice to have them there and to hear about the summer God has been providing for them in florida and how our prayers up here for them have been answered and their prayers for us up here have been answered the theme of the night seemed to be following Gods voice and being obedient and doing the work of God that accompanies faith. It was a good discussion and a good bible study. I learned a lot and had a much better understanding and clearity on the potential devisiveness of James. I hope to expound on that more in another blog. But i have patients to review for tomorrows clinic (yeah beth patients not agar or cells). Oh and little side not for my friend beth i hear that there are no such thing as channels. LOL. Hope you are a wiser professor than he was. LOL

This week, I've been thinking about faith, deeds, and James. I'm glad it's in the Bible, devisive or not. I was reading somewhere else in the Bible recently (it would be nice if I knew where, let me know if you know), that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength (Please let me know if I'm remembering or wording this wrong) and then love your neighbor as yourself. So then I looked up love in the dictionary just to get a better handle on it. Anyway, it's a verb and a noun, but it's used as a verb in those 2 commandments. So we as Christians are called to action, and I think James is reminding us of that, or as Nic ever so gently reminded us to write in our "Jesus notebooks," faith yeilds deeds spurred on by love. Way to go Nic! Way to go James! -Trina
Trina, thanks and thanks to James from me also. But the verse you are quoting is mathew 22:37-40. Good stuff. The greatest of the commandments.
