TOE

That's "term of endearment", which is how I feel about Mr. Buzzkill. I am grateful that James' letter made it into the New Testament canon (it was touch and go for a while, you know).

I recently learned (from the intro in my J.B. Phillips Translation) that the Book of James is conceptually linked to the Beatitudes. Of all the NT epistles, it is arguably the one most directly distilled from the words of Jesus.

Alex - Wow, you're presenting a different vantage point (something at which you are skilled...) -- one that makes me want to re-read James, which is a good thing.

Without a doubt, I agree with you that there is no dowsing of creative combustion in James.

I wanted to post this in response to your latest post on your other blog, but it wouldn't let me leave an anonymous comment:

ooh is this perhaps a new brand of poetry? lines about the stories behind music lyrics?

it could be a book.

Thank you for the link, Alex -- I haven’t excavated its depths yet, but it looks strong.

Courtney, I moved your comment to burnettstories and replied to it there.
