Greetings breathern, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that
the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work,
that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing.  If any of you lacks wisdom,
let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be
given to him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like
a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.  For let not that man suppose
he will receive anything from the Lord; for he is a double minded man, unstable
in all of his ways. James 1:1-8.

It has been said that's it's better to go to a house of mourning rather than to a
house of feasting, merry making, drunkenness and debauchery.  Because it's
like being hit in the face with a glass of ice colder water.  A house of death and
of mourning serves to remind all humans that we all have to face death sooner
or later.  Until our Lord comes back down and transports His servants into His
Father's House in His kingdom of heaven.  

When a believer dies, Jesus refers to it as only falling asleep in the Lord. I told
my dying mother and my dying middle brother.  Who are both absent from the
body but now present with the Lord Jesus,"When you close your eyes for the
very last time, when you wake up you will see Jesus." 

When James mentions in 4:9 Let your laughter be turned into mourning it's a
direct reference to laughter caused by drunkenness.  It's only fleeting joy but
all too soon it can be turned into gloom when confronted by your own mortality
in the house of mourning. 

Did you not know that we not only are to confess our trespasses to God our
Father but also to our fellow brethren in the Lord Jesus Christ?  Confess your
trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
The effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16.  Brethren,    
if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his ways will save
a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Come now you, who say,"Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a
city and spend a year there, buy sell and make profit." 4:13  What guarantee
do we have about tomorrow? Instead you ought to say,"If the Lord wills, we
shall live and do this or that." But now you boast in arrogance.  All such boast
ing is evil. 4:16.  Don't ever do evil do what's right instead!
