Is It A Dream?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

It is logically impossible to love God and intentionally kill another human being. The Bible text that says this: “How can we love God, whom we have not seen, if we hate/kill a brother/sister whom we have seen?”

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

When I feel frustrated or depressed,
You raise me up to new life.
When I am anxious or fearful,
You raise me up to new faith.
When I run into road blocks or dead ends,
You raise me up to new possibilities.
When I get tired and worn,
You raise me up to new inspiration.
When I feel death nipping at my heels,
You raise me up with the promise of enjoying resurrection life.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Well, sorry, Dad. I thought you might like a tie on this Father’s Day.”

[Just wondering what His other gift-giving might have been like. But absolutely no ties.]

D. Blog: Just Dreaming

Through the mist, the edge of a looming cliff.
On my back, a parachute designed for this Bond-like eventuality.
Its designer dubbed it “Fear not.”
