Only Sufficient??

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I’m a pacifist and I vote – for those most likely to build peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

To say that your grace is sufficient seems like an insult.
One meal a day is sufficient, too. One suit of clothing is sufficient. A cave is sufficient shelter. And an outhouse is more than sufficient for our needs.

Your grace is much more than “sufficient.” It abounds, teems, overwhelms, stretches beyond limit. It reaches into the realm of eternity.

Your grace is divine.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“The flute and harp are nice instruments, but the accordion really makes me want to dance.”

[There was probably music and dancing at the Cana wedding, but He didn’t say this.]

D. Blog: Interesting…

Interesting, how those in power managed to shift responsibility for Jesus’ death onto God.

Interesting, how those in power managed to shift the focus of Jesus’ message from abundant life in this world, even for the poor, to eternal life in an uncertain afterworld.

Interesting, how those in power managed to shift the assurance of forgiveness given while Jesus lived to something supposedly provided only by his “sacrificial” death.

Interesting, how those in power managed to shift the practical religion of Jesus to make it highly superstitious.

Interesting, how we keep buying into what the powerful tell us, rather than what Jesus said and did.
