Time out!

We have a habit of speaking to God. Me, my wife and our two daughters.

We speak to God on many matters. Even trivial ones, sometimes. And we ask many questions. Even stupid ones, sometimes.

But Abba always answers.

We tend to talk about current matters.

Sometimes we speak to God on pressing matters that lay heavily on our hearts as well.

James and the pirate of the soul

What is this James and pirating all about?

Google “James” and you’ll find the name to mean supercede and replace, it is to displace and override and to remove in its totality.

And pirating is to attempt to attack with a purpose to unjustly profit. It is to rob and plunder which belongs to someone else.

I titled this post “Pirate of the soul” because of something James said in James 1, but I felt that I should remind myself of who exactly James is and what the significance of his name is before getting into the whole pirate thing.

Do we know James?
