Crying to God

A. Unabashed Pacifist:
Peace does not produce suffering.

B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
I greet you in the morning fog-light, for you usher in the new day of my short life.
I greet you in the warmth of the mid-day sun, for you bless my life with love and creativity.
I greet you in the cool of the evening, for you provide the means by which I can process the events of my life.
I greet you when the day passes, for you measure my days and in the end welcome me into your presence.
Amen

C. Unquoting Jesus:
“They will call me the Prince of War, win or lose.”
[Never said anything like it.]

D. Blog: A Parable
"I have heard their cry..."

A conference gathers to meet in a large auditorium. Speakers on the platform cannot be heard without a powerful microphone. Even a large choir needs a sound system in order to be heard properly.

But the cry of an infant is heard clearly throughout the vast hall.

[Thanks to Alice for the observation that led to this parable].
