Verse 2 is such a tough one for me...consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds. I find it difficult to initially consider it anything positive, much less pure joy! I feel like it has been awhile since I have felt true joy - except when I am with Josh and Karie. :) But I do relate to the next few verses about perseverance. I have had to work hard for everything I have gotten. I think if a lot of things came easy, I would not place as much value in them and the lessons learned would not have stuck with me.
Verse 19: man, that always steps on my toes - especially the slow to speak part - and not necessarily because I am going to say something bad. I feel like I should process what people say to me more before I offer back a comment.
James is so chock full of good stuff. I could take two verses and chew on them for a few days!
Love you ladies.

Right back at ya babe, regarding v. 19. Sometimes, I have "so much to teach" that I forget to learn.
