Are You Awake?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Gazelles for Peace today issued this statement: “We prefer not to become trophy kill. We run and jump in the cause of peace. Can you say as much?”

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Awaken me when I am dead to your presence.
Awaken me when my ears do not hear your voice.
Awaken me when my eyes do not see your glory.
Awaken me when I do not feel the touch of your hand.
Awaken me anew with the breath of your Spirit.
Awaken me to the wonder of your life in me.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus
(who most famously did not say, “You have heard it said that I said many things, but I tell you, verily, you have not heard the many things I did not say.”):

“One round trip to the City of Angels, please.”

[Cute, but He never said it.]
