Which Red Hat Society?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

War is a failure. Of imagination. Of love. Of nerve.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Do you plan these amazing skies?
In my opinion, your copyright is unassailable and you win every art competition.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Who are all the cool old women wearing red hats? I think I’ll get Mom a hat like that for Christmas?”

[Nope. Not before the Cardinals started wearing them. One can imagine, though…]

D. Blog: No Thanks to a Rose Garden

People talk sometimes about the promise of a rose garden. I’m glad God never made such a promise. Roses are pretty and they smell terrific, but a garden of them means a lot to learn, a lot of planning, a lot of work, a lot of expense – and thorns everywhere. And then the flowers wither and die.

The imaginary garden is fine, as is seeing a rose garden in bloom, one that’s kept by someone else – usually, in my experience, more than one person and often not by the owner of the rose garden.

Do you think we have material for a parable here???
