You Never Know

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I have a dream that one day we will have a pacifist President.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Hear our sobs. Hear our hoorays.
Hear our sighs. Hear our hallelujahs.
Hear our groans. Hear our ecstasy.
Hear our moans. Hear our eurekas.
Hear our cries. Hear our chuckles.
Hear our oh nos. Hear our ahas.
Hear our prayers.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“You want to know how many angels will fit in the eye of a needle?”

[He didn’t know how to answer. Never said it either.]

D. Blog: Meetings

Meetings create anxiety, whether formal group meetings or informal first meetings or reunions. I imagine that Jacob and Esau had butterfly stomachs when they met again after many years. We read about Jacob’s disturbing dream the night before. I imagine Esau slept poorly as well. Who knew what might happen? In a meeting. Where the spirit of God is present.
