Join the Peace Race

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The violent need our compassion.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I guess you always look on the bright side.
I try, but sometimes…?
Forgive my lack of faith.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Is there a john around here?”

[As opposed to the bushes, I suppose? No, He never said it quite like this.]

D. Blog: The Peace Race

I have an idea for a new kind of international competition. Think of it as a “Peace Race,” in which nations make a case like: “Our peace beats your peace because…”

- none of our citizens goes hungry, homeless, or without medical care
- we have a 98% literacy rate
- we reduced our global footprint by 25% per person in 5 years
- our military spending is only 10% of our national budget, and our foreign aid is equal to it
- etc., etc.

We could strive to be a super peace power.
