God as Dream Weaver

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Unlike war, peace needs no justification.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One, Dream Weaver,

You send a dream and I am drawn into its mystery.
You send a dream and reality makes sense again.
You send a dream and I want to try new things.
You send a dream and I see dry bones walking once more.
You send a dream and I want to ask a lonely person to dance.
You send a dream and the old ways aren’t good enough any more.
You send a dream and I want to befriend former enemies.
You send a dream and I won’t settle for less than the good.
You send a dream and I can no longer sleep through life.
You send a dream and the night brightens.
You send a dream and I know the rationality of hope.
You send a dream and I no longer believe in impossible.
You send a dream and I can’t take for an answer.
You send a dream and freedom, justice and peace cannot be denied.
You send a dream and I know I’m somebody.
You send a dream and I see a new world coming.
The dreams shape my reality.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“So, because you think I’m gay, Judas, I get arrested?”

[Thus the kiss on the cheek? No. He didn’t say this.]
