Sense and Nonsense

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“Did e’er such love and sorrow meet?” – As when young people head off to war?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Another day, another batch of bad news from around the world – like extending the “war” in Iraq.
Another day, another series of personal joys to reflect upon – like long walks in nearby parks.
Another day, another set of things to ponder – like the spider that senses my presence and flees its web to hide in the leaves of a tree.
Another day, another gallery of natural and human artistry to view with wonder.
Another day, another chance to try to decide: how amazing is this life?
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“You guys will love the house where Lazarus lives with his two sisters; it has great curb appeal.”

[No curbs, no curb appeal, no quote by Him, verily.]

D. Blog: If Jesus Comes

If real and lasting peace comes to the “Middle East” then perhaps Jesus will really come again. That scenario makes much more sense to me than His coming with an apocalypse that would be totally out of character for him and a denial of His true self – and would wipe out the “Holy Land.” I vote for sense over nonsense.
