Git Along Little Dogies

This here is a late - or early as the case may be - post because I just got home from my friends place a few minutes ago. After dinner, we had good fellowship, Bible trivia from the book of James, and then 8 games or so of catch phrase...

The book of James is such a fascinating book. It has some things in it to make you scratch your head and others that make you fall on your face in repentance.

Here are some of the humbling things that James presents to us:
"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways....Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."


"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." 

"And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell....Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?....Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth...But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."

Well, I could just go and quote the whole entire book, but you might as well go read it for yourself and let the Lord speak to you through it.  

For a little lightheartedness, I thought I would quickly post a little video of "Git Along Little Dogies." For a disclaimer: This is not an endorsement of Roy Rodgers, Hollywood, old westerns, or the movie it comes from (which I don't know). I simply like the song and found that this was one of the best renderings of it. Enjoy!
