Doers

St. James’s Episcopal Church, 1205 West Franklin Street, Richmond, Virginia

James 1:22-25
King James Version

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Tractor trailers have arrived at the Woolen Mill with sections of the new Moores Creek pedestrian bridge. The bridge comes from Bridge Brothers. I am so pleased. Circumabulation of Charlottesville will be possible without getting wet feet… Thank you Brian Roy and investors.
