Think Upon These Things!

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace came to me in a vision. “I am near,” she said.
How will I know? I thought.
“Have no fear,” she said.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

On the trip to your side, we can encounter obstacles of weather and terrain that send us on dangerous and costly detours. But now we are near Bethlehem, where we have heard we can find you. We carry with us some of our most prized treasures.

We thought we might keep them, but on the way to your side, we learned they get in our way. We want you to have them. You will know better what to do with them, and with us.

Here we are, safely arrived at last. You can make good use of us.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Number one on my bucket list is to learn to tango.”

[Pretty safe to declare: He never said this!]

D. Blog: Thoughts for the Day

- I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.

- Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.

- The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.

- Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of OLD LADIES who sport tattoos? (and RAP music will be the Golden Oldies!).
