            ☀️ A.M. James 1:9-15

9 - Let the lowly person boast in their high position. 10 And the rich (boast) in their low state, for like a flower of the grass they (we all) pass away. 11 The sun rises with its scorching heat, and the grass withers {burns away! in a slow gehenna fire - entropy}. The flower fades, and its beauty perishes. So also do riches fade away even as they’re pursued..

     12 Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial, for when they’ve stood the test they’ll receive the crown of Life, which God promises to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when tempted, “I’m being tempted by God!” For God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt. 14 But each person is tempted when lured and enticed by their own desires. 15 For desire gives birth to sin. And sin when fully grown brings forth death. {Like grass we fade away.. dust to dust. God’s wrath? Unavoidable unless creation’s to be an ant farm? So get this one and done over with? Life and history as we presently know it, being the crucible. Experience being the only good teacher? And the dis-ease as part of the cure? And immunity..}

            🌙 P.M. Mark 10:10-16

10 - Later while in the house the disciples asked Jesus again about it. 11 And he said, “Whoever sends away his wife and weds another, commits adultery against her. 12 And if she goes away from her husband and marries another, she commits adultery [moichaó - breaks the marriage covenant].

     13 Some were bringing children to him so he might bless them. But the disciples were stopping them. 14 And when Jesus saw it, he was annoyed, “Let the children come to me,” he said. “Don’t keep them away, for to such as they, belongs the kingdom of God! 15 I tell you, truly, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a little child, cannot enter in.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, and laying his hands on them, he blessed each one.
