It's My Story and I'm Sticking to It

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I saw something on TV about an organization that helps people “adopt” US soldiers. If we adopt one, does that mean we get to bring him/her home to live with us? We might want to do that – if we can have him/her immediately.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

The evidence seems overwhelming to me: you love us, you love this world, you love plants, trees, animals, insects, you love life, you love moons and stars and galaxies and the proliferating cosmos.
I find you guilty of love beyond measure. I know you can’t help it. I know it’s an addiction. No matter the mitigating condition, you are guilty as charged.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Just use your Easy button.”

[When the disciples weren’t able to heal as He did? No, He didn’t say it.]

"Having ears to hear (II)..."

A man went about telling stories. Some listeners could not understand the stories, so they said, "Stories are nonsense."
Other listeners, seeing no useful purpose in the stories, dismissed them with the words, "Stories are for children."
But other listeners heard truth in the stories, so they said, "God tells stories."
