What Do We Teach?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Remember the song “One Tin Soldier”? What did the army do after they found the treasure that simply said “Peace on Earth”? Threw down their weapons forever, I hope.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

For health and illness and recovery from illness…
For strength and weakness and helpful neighbors…
For daily food and appetite and abundance…
We give thee thanks and honor and praise…
You give it all meaning.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“You know, Mom, a scrap of the swaddling cloths you saved from my birth would sell for at least 30 pieces of silver on e-Bay some day.”

[We buy and sell many things, but He never said this.]

D. Blog: Teach Me

If you give me a fish, I’ll have something to eat.
If you teach me to fish, I’ll support myself.
If you give me a gun, I’ll find something to kill.
If you teach me to kill, I’ll find reasons or war.
If you teach me to share, we’ll all have enough.
If you teach me to care, we’ll find a way to peace.
