So, Here's a Question for You..

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“If you ask me, war should be the target of eradication – like smallpox.” – Kevin, age 13

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I’m trying to make room for stillness to happen today, God. But there are all those errands to be run and chores to be done. The press of activity squeezes the time available for entering stillness. And if I find some time for stillness, the noises that assault my ears erase the opportunity for knowing you. Fortunately it doesn’t often happen like this. But it does make me wonder… In a bustling, high-decibel culture like ours, it seems to make sense that we have a dwindling religious conviction and a hungering for spiritual experience. Help me to be still.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Did you hear that the women of the Capernaum stoned the ‘Peeping David’ who was terrorizing the town?”

[Probably a priest. But He never said this.]
