It's Sara and Dippity!

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace in our time. I’m a believer. It’s far more credible than the physical return of Jesus.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

When vehicles crash on highways, you are our refuge.
When fire consumes its victims, you are our refuge.
When violence kills in city streets, you are our refuge.
When drugs infect our neighborhoods, you are our refuge.
When lethal threats lurk in the mail, you are our refuge.
When planes fly into buildings, you are our refuge.
When children attack other children in schools, you are our refuge.
When death-dealing seems routine, you are our refuge.
You declare that life is to be treasured.
You command against killing.
You proclaim that there are better ways to express our grievances and settle our differences.
You send prophets who say justice will roll down like a might river.
You affirm that life can be better for all.
You promise that even when death comes, it is no the final answer, it does not have the final say.
You are our refuge. Your will be done.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Explain how I can text Dad on this thing.”

[Hmm.. The Text, maybe, but not in this sense.]

D. Blog: Serendipity??

[From Trivia-library.com]:

Serendipity - The faculty for making desirable discoveries by accident. English novelist Horace Walpole (1717-1797) so named a faculty possessed by the three heroes of his story The Three Princes of Serendip.

[From ExperienceFestival.com]:

The fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip is based upon the life of Persian king Bahram Gur who ruled the Sasanian Empire from ca. 420-440 AD. Stories of his rule are told in epic poetry of the region (Firdausi's Shahnameh 1010 AD, Nizami's Haft Paykar 1197 AD, Khusrau's Hasht Bihisht 1302 AD), parts of which are based upon historical facts with embellishments derived from folklore going back hundreds of years to oral traditions in India and The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.
