Who Holds Title to Earth?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I’m going to peace in a handbasket.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Earth is yours.
We are on your private property, not exactly trespassers – you did put us here – but our presence on Earth does not give us rights of ownership.
Earth is yours.
When we abuse your beautiful place, we might find our stay here far less pleasant.
Earth is yours.
When we try to turn it to our selfish purposes rather than to your creative genius, then Earth becomes less fruitful and more ugly.
Earth is yours.
We must treat it with care lest it become ever less hospitable a place.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I don’t think you really want to sell me a life insurance policy at this point, Nathaniel.”


[Life insurance, hmmm. No, He already had coverage, so He never said this.]

D. Blog: A Haiku

Birds don’t miss out on mornings.
Concerts begin at dawn.
Arise and sing!
