Good morning to you. This sure has been a great week for weather. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. For our Bible reading today, let’s look at James 5:1-6: (1) Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! (2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. (3) Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. Yu have heaped up treasure in the last days. (4) Indeed the wages of the laborers who moved your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the LORD of Sabboth. (5) You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. (6) You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.
