Next time, add it as a referred quotation (ILSM) so that all at UCLA will have to pronounce the words: "I love Saint Mark".
[quote=James 5: 7-11]7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Something I believe we all need to remind ourselves of right now.

I hesitated twenty times before putting that line in (felt like plagiarism). In the end, I felt it was too powerful to be left out. But I must give credit where it is due: Thanks, ILSM.
How is that interesting, Unworthy1? I am insulted by what passes for analysis in the United States media. The only thing that article is good for is hopefully more insight from Copts in the comments section (hint, hint), because there certainly isn't very much in the article itself.

I was just teasing you.
I like to keep things within a few sentences or phrases.
