if you can just indulge me for a moment… “thufferin thuccatath!”…

thanks, that’s generally the first thing that comes to my mind when i see or hear the word “suffering”… anyway… the second thing is actually much more appropriate for this discussion… when James says that we’re supposed to rejoice in the midst of suffering…

this chapter takes a different tone as it’s written as if it were a letter from Job, the figurehead for Biblical suffering… Satan’s punching bag so to speak… and Job is offering advice to all of us since suffering is part of life… he basically says that we need to suck it up and deal… or at least allow God to teach us through the trials… makes sense, but it’s hard to swallow…

pretty basic message here… and a short chapter…

peace… love… bdg…
