Opportunity Knocks

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When peace comes, none are left behind.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Have we told you lately that we love you?
Here's our opportunity...
Have we thanked you lately - for anything or everything?
Here's another opportunity...
Have we expressed our wonder lately for your creation, including ourselves?
Here's a perfect opportunity...
Have we we recently reached out in love to our neighbors, so like us as your children?
Here's an opportunity to prepare to do so...
Have we told you lately that we love you...?
Amen

C. Unquoting Jesus:

"Get your guns, guys, it’s time we clean up this town."

[No. He didn't believe in redemptive violence.]

D. Blog: A Haiku

Birds warn one another
of my presence.
Despite my size,
I'm harmless.
