- Who is wise and understanding among you?
- Would you like to put your hand up?
- Was it James's joke as he asks the question, was it rhetorical?
- He waits for us to stand up or put our heads down
- It reminds me of an episode of Dad's Army where Mannering is speaking to Sergeant Wilson - "...you know Wilson, over the years I've come to know the members of the platoon; I've grown quite fond of them but I can't help feeling sometimes that I'm in charge of a bunch of idiots"
- Are we seeking personal gain at the expense of the common good?
- Are we avoiding responsibility, shifting the blame?
- James tells his readers to show the wisdom by the way they live
- Operation Enduring Freedom and the recent events in Afghanistan
- We pray that old follies will not generate new ones
- Prayers for the world
- We draw them near to you, our God, for you draw near to us.
