Last Supper Un-quote

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Did I miss something? I thought Jesus’ coming was about peace on Earth, not Christians going to war on and with Earth.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I see beauty.
Therefore I am.
I see beauty.
Therefore I believe.
I see beauty.
Therefore I have hope.
I see beauty.
Therefore I love.
I see beauty.
Therefore, you are.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I can drink you all under the table.”

[No, that wasn’t part of the conversation at the Last Supper.]

D. Blog: Friends

I’ve seen a good number of old and new friends in the past week. They remind me that friends add depth and breadth to our lives. Friends connect us to our former selves and the memories we’ve shared. Even new friends pull some of those memories from us, as they want to know what experiences have brought us to where we are in the present. Friends expand our experience of life by sharing what is meaningful to them. In doing so, they expose us to different views, but in ways that make them easier to understand and to accept.

On the whole, I prefer a friend-friendly world over a user-friendly world.
