Wouldn’t you like to be able to predict the future?  People try.  Some use tea leaves, fortune cookies, astrology, palm reading and more – all in an effort to get a grasp on the future.  We read books, subscribe to services that provide forecasts and economic predictions. We attend conferences and seminars on planning and goal setting, and on and on. But what is the Christian viewpoint toward the future? How are we to prepare for and react to the unknowns in our future?  St. James has something to say about that – including some mistakes to avoid.
