Doo What?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Given the alternative, I’ll take peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

My God, what a morning it was! As I live and breathe, it was a miracle! Three degrees Fahrenheit, but clear, crisp, bright – and I felt warm in my shelter, my sanctuary, my retreat, my center from which to meet the day. Yes, I’m thinking of you, but also of my home, where I live and where you seem to be a constant presence – more than guest or visitor. I love having you here with us!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I can’t take time to pray. I have to work 80 hours a week with the carpentry business, preaching, healing, generally multi-tasking.”

[Sounds pretty familiar, but He never said it.]
