In the last couple days, James (our James) has started to wave hi. Only occasionally, mind you, to myself or Erin. But, he'll do it every time when he sees himself in the mirror! Obviously, I couldn't help but notice verse 23 today that says "For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in the mirror.."
At 9 months, James is allowed to be completely into himself. For the rest of us, though, we are called to serve. In verse 25, the author of James talks about the "perfect law," which is what Jesus says is the greatest commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Its that simple..but is it? When was the last time you have seen your neighbor and broken bread with them (or a beer)? Erin and I have a hard enough time juggling our own schedule to really engage with the people around us. Thats probably more of an excuse than anything..
