Another Day, Another...

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace is attainable – for a price. Practice democracy on an international level. Give up the lust for wealth, luxury and power. Share the toys and pass the plates around the table. Can we do that?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I know that we face monumental problems in the world.
Yet, it’s a wonderful planet.
I know that people and groups can commit despicable atrocities.
Yet, people also carry out amazing acts of compassion.
I know that the violence of human and natural forces destroys too many lives.
Yet, natural and human creativity inspires our lives with the beauty it produces.
Thus, on balance, I agree with Ted: Life is good! Yeah!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“That John is a real hunk.”


[The disciple He loved, perhaps, but He never said this.]

D. Blog: Another Day, Another…

Another day, another…? Dollar!*(&}!@
Is that all that occurs to us?
How about…
- another day of learning?
- another day of wonders?
- another day of beauty?
- another set of opportunities?
- another expression of love?
- another chance to experience joy?
- another day to show compassion?
- another day to enter the process of creation?
“Another dollar” trivializes life’s marvels.
