I, Brother James, cultivated through my imagination 'The Word Courier's Journal'. It is but one of several literary efforts so conceived to include the "Word", the mind altering, eye opening, lifesaving Gospel of Jesus Christ into the everyday conversation on those things deemed relevant to readers. I and all other followers of the Lord are called to witness. Jesus said "Go therefore and teach all nations..." (see Matthew 28:19 KJV Holy Bible) Here lies my modest attempt to introduce the unknowing people to the Lord and immerse they who know Him in discussion with respect to His outlook on all that matters.

Sometimes you got to feel the heat before you see the light |

Today's politics has too many characters and not enough character. |

It is better to leave too soon than to over stay your welcome. This sentiment applies the same to a relationship as it does a wedding. Whereas absence makes the heart grow fonder over extended presence makes the heart grow colder. Stay warm my friends. |

Failure does not feel good but it happens. Sometimes it's unavoidable even at times inevitable. It's like they say in the outdoor storage business, "shed happens."
Losing is one thing unpleasant as it is but throwing away the game is unacceptable. Thank God for what is learned from the experience so as to thrive. The place to dive is the swimming pool not the boxing ring. |

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: "....."for it is the blood that make
the atonement for the soul." Leviticus 17:11 KJV Holy Bible
I know some who read Leviticus 17:11 would argue that it states their case against blood transfusions. I say the opposite. Life is in the blood. And blood is a live organism that enables its host to continue living.
But more important than what I think, the Bible authored by God and written by scores of men throughout its lettered years indicates the blood is for the preservation of life. |

"An insult is advice in reverse."

I wish I can take credit and call it a Jimism but it's not. |

The bear in the forest isn't dangerous to you if you stay out of the woods. So it is written. |

Ironically, I had a checkup on Wednesday with a nurse practioner the day before yesterday which was National Nurses Day. I am basically healthy but I don't know about going back there. She told me "you gotta straighten up and start living right." I said "I ain't hearing that. I want a 2nd opinion." So she said "oh yeah, you need a haircut too." ohh! |

Our local writing group has a meeting (via zoom of course) this Thursday. I expect that as with other "get togethers" we will share some of what we've written. And perhaps we'll have some type of writing challenge assigned to us. As previously exposed in 'Word Courier' entries, we had a project in which we listed 10 things people don't know about us.
I saved the juiciest unknown for last. I like to refer to number 10 on the list as “secret sauce.” I wrote the following on this topic:
I know more about people than I show. I wonder how some would react if they knew what it is that I know about them. And, it’s not just the embarrassing stuff. Some of my knowledge about others have done includes downright disturbing things. To put it metaphorically, I don’t know where all the bodies are buried, but I know who buried them.

The events of Good Friday showed us that no good deed(s) goes unpunished. Resurrection Sunday proved that the best can come out of the worse. |
