Divine Children

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When peace flows like a river, I will be baptized in it.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

They said it couldn’t be done.
Divinity could not enter this mortal creation.
Divinity could not exist with the taint of humanity’s evil.
Divinity could never adapt to human frailty.
But a baby is innocent.
Perhaps such a one can remain pure and righteous.
If so, perhaps we should pay attention to his values and priorities and behavior.
After all, they say anything is possible with you!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Mom, tell James your story of how he came to be born. I love the part with the stork.”

[Where babies come from was one of Mary’s specialties, but Jesus never said this.]

D. Blog: Divine Child

I saw two young toddler relatives over the weekend.
I’m quite certain both have divine features.
I pray that nobody ever convinces them otherwise.
