Talking Cars

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace was at the top of God’s Christmas wish list.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Tell me: does everyone notice the splendor of the universe?
Tell me: has everyone experienced the glories of love?
Tell me: doesn’t everyone hope for peace?
Tell me: weren’t we all born with some potential greatness?
Tell me: does everyone hear your call for compassion and justice?
Tell me: don’t all of us need the lessons of struggle and some suffering and forgiveness?
Tell me: how can anyone resist the attraction of your greatness?
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Just because you say so, Mom, is not good enough.”

[No, He didn’t say that at the wedding in Cana.]
