A. Unabashed Pacifist:

If peace comes next week, will I be ready?
If peace comes tomorrow, will I be ready?
If peace comes this afternoon, will I be ready?
If peace comes now, will I be ready?
Peace now, peace now, peace now, peace now, peace now.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You, Divinity, entered the world when you took the form of an infant. Vulnerable. In need of care and attention and protection. Like one of us.
You, Divinity, took the form of an infant. Crying, frightened, hungry, unaccustomed to your surroundings. Like one of us.
You, Divinity, too the form of an infant. Weak, growing, learning, full of untapped potential. Like one of us.
You, Divinity, took the form of an infant. Limited by your body, limited by time, bound to die. Like one of us.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I always wanted to live in a Light-house.”

[Is that why so many churches are white? He didn’t say it.]

D. Blog: Holy Children

Did Jesus consider himself more holy than other children? I imagine that only we would make such a comparison. All children come from God, bear God’s imprint upon them and are thereby holy. Sudanese children, Iraqi children, Palestinian and Israeli children. Only we have learned to devalue them, because we have a warped sense of values.
