St. James the Greater Comments

    I had a dream last night and in the dream I was standing at a white board in a classroom and someone was having me write Santiago on the board. I woke up from the dream (very early in the morning on a Saturday) and I couldn't get the name Santiago out of my head. I live in a rural area - this is not a name I see every day. I was lying there, trying to recall some of my knowledge of the Spanish language because I had a sense that God was trying to tell me something through this dream. I prayed that God help me understand. After about an hour, I realized that I could not go back to sleep, so I got up and went to the computer to search the meaning of Santiago. I found this site. I am still not exactly sure what God is trying to tell me, but there is a lot going on in my life right now concerning my faith and my church. God is good.

    why would you choose him as a confirmation saint?

    James clearly got stronger and stronger the more he followed Jesus. Did he know that following Jesus would cost him a lot? He did know that not following Jesus would cost him eternity.
