Where's the Meaning?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The road to peace has no land mines or bomb craters.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Immortal.
Invisible.
All-knowing and wise.
All-powerful and ever-present.
Great unknown.
And, you care about humans?
Awesome!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I hope you guys know I’m just lending you that robe my mother made for me.”

[Not one of the things He said from the cross.]

D. Blog: Finding Meaning Anywhere

We will look for meaning in almost anything.

Take that neighborhood cat sunning itself on our deck – could it have some deeper meaning? Has it been abandoned? Is it seeking a new home? Is it anticipating a meal of nuthatch near the birdfeeder? Probably not.

But suppose it appreciates the higher view and the sun’s rays. Hmm… That sounds like a potential parable, doesn’t it? A metaphor for why people spend time on Sunday mornings in church – to get a better view and to feel the warmth of love.
