A messianic Rabbi
In the messianic community the leader of a congregation born Jewish holds the title of Rabbi
one who was born Gentile holds the title of Pastor.
We are all saved by the blood of the lamb
Now about my friend...........................

Mm. Just tired. Stayed up too late trying to figure out how to do something on the computer, which still isn't done. Very frustrating.

Wisdom for the Trials of Life
James 1:2-8
Not a single person on earth has ever lived a completely problem-free life. We may see someone’s success and think, He’s so lucky. He doesn’t have a care in the world. We often forget that Scripture describes life’s trials as universal—we all face times of trouble.
James 1:2 is a rather small verse. But, it contains tremendous insight into the issue of life’s trials. First, it is significant that James uses the word “when.” This defines the issue. Enduring trials is not a matter of if, but when.
Second, when he says we will “encounter” misfortune, James is implying that difficulties will occur unexpectedly. There may be no time to prepare for them.
Third, he uses the adjective “various” to denote the ever-changing, often surprising forms in which problems appear. James has a specific message he wants to get across: Get ready. Trouble is coming, so you must be prepared to handle it effectively.
“Effective” may not be a word you’d use to describe your response to difficulties. Too often, we take a hit from life, back ourselves into a corner, and hope for the hardship to quickly pass us by. When we do this, we rob ourselves of the growth opportunity each challenge presents.
Read or listen to James 1:2-8 again. Then, pray for God to show you how to endure. Ask Him how to actually rejoice in your struggles. The Lord has a plan for your moment of hardship. Ask Him today what His purpose is. Then, work to accomplish it.
I tend to back myself into a corner when things get to be too much. I suspect it's a coping mechanism for me. I'm so accustomed to being alone that I often forget to reach out during a trial and take the hand of Jesus and walk with him through it. This is something I've been working on as of late.

It's a headache to post pictures on CF that's why I rarely do it though I thought I'd try to put something for that little camera thing that goes up by the dooviedackie. Sorta like that shot Red has pictured but at least mine will be something identifiable

Mine is a plant. One that was mentioned in another thread by Jehane as a matter of fact. I have discovered if the image already has a url site, one can go to that url and simply right click on the image and click copy and come back on here and click paste in the reply box and post an image. <-- Example
