Greener Grass

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Pacifism is not for the faint of heart. It requires being prepared to die for peace, with an unwillingness to kill for it.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You have a long memory.
Remember our longings.
Remember our joys.
Remember our acts of mercy and kindness.
Remember our words of praise and thanks.
Restore us to the best you put in us.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Have you ever noticed how the grass is greener over there than it is over here?”

[Probably recalling Egypt. No, He never said it.]

D. Blog: Adoring

I adore early morning light, even on a cloudy day.
I adore the sight of birds flitting around the deck.
I adore trees, magnificent in their variety and for what they contribute to our common life on Earth.
I adore a full moon, a waterfall, the colors as the sun appears or disappears over the horizon.
I adore the family and friends who enrich and support my life.
I adore this place where I live, a place of promise and refuge.
In other words, I agree with the Genesis writer who declared it all good.
