Your Slip is Showing...

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

War is none of God’s doing.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I saw you yesterday.
You stooped over a toddler to show him a yellow tulip.
He giggled when he touched it.
That’s when I recognized you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Do I have a plan of salvation, Andrew? Well, I suppose, if you mean a plan to show people how to live as God’s children in this world.”

[I wish, but He didn't say it.]

D. Blog: Embarrassment

I had an embarrassing moment the other day, something akin to an open fly in public. I don’t know whether anyone else noticed, but it made me wonder…

What’s so embarrassing about being human? About making mistakes? About social faux pas? I’m thinking they just don’t matter. We have too many other and more serious things to worry about or be ashamed of than to beat ourselves up over the fact of our humanity.
