On the Road to Adulthood?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

MLK, Jr. – peacenik. He rests in it.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

How many angels does it take to guard a single life?
You provide them.
How many villagers does it take to nurture a single human being?
You provide them.
How many resources does it take to sustain a person?
You provide them.

I think I see a pattern here…
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Excuse me, brothers. Can you tell me whether this road goes to Emmaus? I think I might be lost.”

[A decent conversation starter, but He never said it.]

D. Blog: Growing Up

Growing up is hard to do, a lot harder than breaking up, I think. After 60 years, maybe I’ve arrived at “grown up” status. Or maybe not, according to some definitions, in which play and laughter don’t seem to fit. At least I’ve learned not to seek revenge. I’ve learned to enjoy the moment, to take note of miracles and wonders all around me. I’ve learned to forgive myself as I forgive others. I’ve learned that although there certainly are evils in the world, life’s goodness has them greatly outnumbered.
