Asheville Crime Wave Continues

A pacifist transforms anger into constructive action.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You make life interesting with all the surprises you send our way. I’m not always good at responding to surprises, but I hope you keep sending them my way. I enjoy the way they shake me free from the little routines I fall into. I like the unexpected graces carried by a phone call, an invitation, a graduation announcement, a rainbow, an exceptional act of kindness, a song that touches my soul, a friendly face or hello in a crowd, a spur-of-the-moment visit or outing. They all help remind me that you send us joy in a multitude of gifts. They surprise me, but I’m now accustomed to being surprised by you.
Amen

“Your wife is a beautiful woman, Pilate.”

[No room, I guess.]

[“I was just playing around, judge.”]
