What's in Your Bliss?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I look forward to the time when presidents, in their State of the Union messages, routinely bestow Medals of Honor on persons who work for peace in nonviolent ways.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I have stopped being particularly “surprised” by life’s goodness and joy.
“Gratitude” comes closer to describing my reaction.
I no longer feel overwhelmed by the blessings you rain upon me.
I do savor them as they enrich my days.
I don’t “expect” them to continue, nor do I feel “entitled” to them.
Yet they do not surprise me.
For I know I dwell in your grace.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Bring it on, Pilate.”

[Uh, no. Wrong leader.]

Do I have enough time?
“Enough,” you say.
“Focus on the bliss you want.”
