What Did He Say?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Into every life a little peace must fall. Let it pour.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.
You have spoken. We hear your voice.

I say to you: Bless those who persecute you.
You have spoken. We hear your voice.

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
You have spoken. We hear your voice.

Love your enemies.
You have spoken. We hear your voice.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
You have spoken. We hear your voice.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“The end is near.”

[He could have said it from the cross, but it’s not recorded that he did – and it would not have been in English. In other words, He didn’t say it, I believe He didn’t say it, and that settles it.]

D. Blog: Highway Reading

- Remember who you wanted to be

- Militant Agnostic: I don’t know & you don’t either

- Where have all the hippies gone?

- Jesus is coming; Look busy!

[Question: Does the word "bush-whacked" have additional meaning since the year 2000?]
