Chocolate Wisdom

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Hatred is a traitor to God’s peace, to any peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Into every life rain must fall.
Odd saying. Do we take it in the negative sense?
But rain is positively necessary.
If we want growth, rain must fall.
If we want beauty, rain must fall.
If we want cleansing, rain must fall.
If we want refreshing, rain must fall.
Let rain fall on me.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Dad, can I have a new donkey for Hannukah?“

[He was once a teenager, but He never said this.]
