I have survived my Astronomy class - I believe I have my A! Currently, I have the immediate project planned for after the semester was over underway, which was to dig out my art studio (which had gotten disorganized due to a death in the family last fall) and the house is trashed in the process, for the moment. I have not forgotten my promise to discuss my multifaith beliefs, I just wanted to let you know it may still be a day or so before I get back to that. This post on the book of James is marvelous - I hope you don't mind if I make a copy into my files! It isn't too different from what my former church that I grew up in taught about the book...they of course tried to take a more Pauline direction, but even they acknowledged that James was writing to a Jewish audience, and the influences of Judiasm. Some things you just can't deny or hide. I do know when the Biblical cannon was being fixed, that there was much heated debate about even including the book of James; it barely made it in. Your points on it here make it very clear why! Thank you so much for sharing it! May all be well with you and yours...more soon. Greetings! I have survived my Astronomy class – I believe I have my A!
