Dialogue with God

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I have a dream that one day we will have a Secretary of Peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You are the center around which our lives radiate. You are the place from which we go out and to which we return. You are the source who supply our instructions and to whom we report. When we run into difficulty, we turn to you for directions and advice. When we meet something unfamiliar, we consult you for your wisdom and experience. We depend on you to supply what we need. We count on you to be there for us no matter where we go. The amazing thing is that you can be with us in a flash. There is never a problem with your communications equipment, although ours has been know to go on the blink.

You are the bedrock, the touchstone upon and around whom our lives gravitate. We could not, even if we wanted to, escape the gravitational pull that comes from you. Who wants to escape, though? Those who think they do are only reacting to a debased image of you. I know you’re my home base.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“No, really, John. I want to know. What part of love don’t people understand?”

[I wonder about that, too, but He never asked.]

D. Blog: Dialogue with God

“Which way to Heaven?”

“It’s in your midst.”

“Yes, but how do I get there?”

“With your neighbors.”

“Okay, but which ones are the right neighbors?”

“Wrong question. Just be a right neighbor.”
