If my funeral is attended by only middle to upper class religious white people, shame on me.

James 1: 2-4

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

James 1:27

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Great article about caring for orphans and having a heart for God.

Emails

I love emails especially from my 4 year old nephew and my 3 year old niece! Below are the emails I received yesterday!


I want to pineapple. Um, pumpkin. Lights. Pineapple again.
Aubrey


If you knew Aubrey this sounds just like her! She is so funny and random just like her aunt Ashley!

Morgan's makes a little bit more sense!!

We're going to strawberries at school today. In the garden - well done. We love ya, boy. Go to the hut. Go to basketball then to my house so you see the wonderful toys. And you can watch Mickey Mouse Road Rally with me whenever you want to, man. You are gonna have pumpkins at the school. If you're at school you can see Halloween. There's ghosts and bats and a very good pumpkin. We made pumpkins, but I didn't.


Bye-bye. You are cool or you're beautiful I know. So see ya later Mr. Potatohead.

I just had to share those because they were so cute and made my day!

thank You God for most this amazing day

thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes


(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)


how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?


(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
