I’m moving!

My blog is moving anyway! No longer will I be here at WordPress. There are some features here that I love, but there were other compelling ones at Blogger that drew me. So, this blog has been moved to “www.davesfavoritewife.blogspot.com.” (Dave picked out the name.) I have moved the Bible Study posts, but I’m afraid the comments did not move. We’ll just have to add new ones! I hope to see you all over there!

Action is the Key – James 1:22-25

The other day my 7-year-old was singing a song called “Obedience.” One phrase in the song is, “Action is the key, do it immediately.” She then asked me why the song said that action was the key. My reply was to tell her the parable of the two sons found in Matthew 21:28-31. You probably remember how Jesus told of the father who went to his first son and told him to go work in the vineyard. The son replied no, but later repented and went and worked. Then the father went to the second son and told him to work in the
vineyard. This son said he would, but then he never went. Jesus then asked which son did the will of his father? Which son obeyed? Obviously the first son is the one who obeyed. Action is the key.

Those Dirty Clothes – James 1:21

My husband and I enjoy a show on the Discovery channel called “Dirty Jobs.” Mike Rowe, the host, goes every show to new places and new dirty jobs. The jobs are as varied as can be imagined, with many different skill levels for each position. There is one common theme though, the people who perform these jobs (and film Mike doing these jobs) get dirty. One particular show, the job was so filthy and disgusting that Mike commented that no one on the crew wanted to even talk after the show was done. They just all wanted to get back to their hotel rooms and wash away as much of the filth as possible from their bodies.

James 1:21 states, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”

Back to the Blog

Thank you for your patience as I have enjoyed an extended time away from my blog. I will resume posting tomorrow. Look forward to studying with you!

On Hold

I am officially putting the James Bible study on hold for the holiday season. We are down to one computer at our house now, and Dave has it in high demand right now. That leaves me with next to no time to study out and write the Bible studies. Also, for some reason things are a bit hectic around here. I will still be posting bits for the next few weeks, and Lord willing, I’ll resume the Bible study after the new year. Have a Merry Christmas!
