A. Unabashed Pacifist:
Seeing no better option, I choose peace.
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy One,
You make it impossible for me to feel any lasting unhappiness.
Life is too precious, people too amazing, Earth too beautiful, the universe too awesome.
How can I avoid being impressed and overwhelmed by the grandeur of it all?
Reverently, I bow in your presence.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“It’s no big deal. I never learned how to swim, so I just walk.”
[Oh, so it's that simple... He never said it.]
D. Blog: On Sainthood
Removing snakes makes one worthy of sainthood? Avoiding all temptations makes one worthy of sainthood? I don’t think so.
Give me someone who gets great enjoyment out of life. Give me someone who is honest and faithful in her dealings with others. Give me someone who laughs, who appreciates beauty, who notices the ironies and paradoxes of mortal existence. Give me someone who seeks justice and is at peace with himself, shows compassion to all, and fosters the divine spirit within.
