Who's Counting?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

There were a reported 100,000 people at a peace demonstration. But who was counting?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Something new this day comes.
I welcome its arrival.
Something new this day comes.
I run to meet it.
Something new this day comes.
I will incorporate it into my self.
Something new this day comes.
I live in your presence, where newness abounds.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Well, Judas, I don’t know that it’s fair to call Abraham a pimp for sharing Sarah with another man, but I see your point.”

[I doubt that even Judas had “pimp” in his vocabulary. Anyway, Jesus didn’t say this, guaranteed.]

D. Blog: Loving a House

Our house makes me happy, more so than any other place I have lived. Let me count the ways:
- The word “unique” fits this house.
- It has plenty of space.
- It has style without being trendy.
- It feels comfortable.
- It has eye-catching features.
- No one would ever think it ticky-tacky.
- The layout works well for us and will continue to do so as we get even older.
- It has plenty of room for guests, family and friends.
- It offers views of nature that soothe and inspire.
- Not too old, not too new, not too big, not too small, not too urban, not too rural – just right.
- It has a convenient location, with easy access to everything we want/need, as well as ease of access for visitors from near and far.
- At the same time, it offers wonderful privacy.
- Its design and construction must have been state of the art, by my lay estimate and by what the building trades people tell us.
- Compared with the other houses we have lived in, we cannot imagine leaving this one.
- Seems to us like a marriage made in heaven…
