Pandemonium Located

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The best moment in any competition comes when the winner congratulates the loser for a good contest.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I think of your presence in me as more than a mere spark (the Quaker/Friend adage), more like a fire. At those times when it has seemed like a spark, a breath of fresh air revived it to burn warm and bright, occasionally even to roar.
Amen


C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Oops! My bad.”

[When He withered the fig tree? Appropriate perhaps, but He never said it.]

D. Blog: Pandemonium [from www.etymonline.com]

1667, Pandæmonium, in "Paradise Lost" the name of the palace built in the middle of Hell, "the high capital of Satan and all his peers," coined by John Milton (1608-74) from Gk. pan- "all" + L.L. dæmonium "evil spirit," from Gk. daimonion "inferior divine power," from daimon "lesser god". Transferred sense "place of uproar" is from 1779; that of "wild, lawless confusion" is from 1865.
