A. Unabashed Pacifist:
The ruby shoes will take me home to Peace. [Not in Kansas anymore.]
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
We try to pin you down.
We try to fence you in.
We try to name you, label you, use you for our purposes.
We try to understand you, explain you, define you, predict your character and behavior.
We try to analyze you, avoid you, persuade you, blame you.
We try to outwit you, pacify you, do what we think will please you.
We even try to take your place.
You will have none of it. You do not serve as our divine object or creation.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“You’re doing a heckuva job as high priest, Caiaphas.”
