Lincoln's Birthday

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Full of hope and commitment and pride, he entered the military straight from his high school graduation.
Full of horror and despair, he returned to civilian life two years later, carrying invisible, debilitating wounds.
His home is now on the streets of _____ , where there are people who understand and accept him.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Do you plan these amazing skies?
In my view, your copyright is unassailable.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

"One word of advice for you, Reuben: plastic.”

[An inspired line, but He didn’t say it.]

D. Blog: Asheville News on Lincoln’s Birthday

- “Walter Lamar Chambers Jr., 28, charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver a counterfeit controlled substance. Police said Chambers was trying to pass a mixture of starch and wax for cocaine.”


[A counterfeit controlled substance? Don’t doctors call that a placebo? Maybe the guy’s thinking of a career in developing new drugs…]

-
This article headline: “Pope tells Jews Holocaust denial unacceptable”

[Something is wrong with this statement. Can you see what it is?]
