It's a Conundrum

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The oft-touted “pax romana” applied to citizens and those under Roman domination. Slaves and neighboring peoples? Not so much...

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

A song from a few years ago said “You fill up my senses.” As I recall, the words were addressed to a lover. I think they apply absolutely to you.

There are times when life feels especially full and rich. You ill me with work that makes sense and makes a contribution. You fill me with pleasant surprises and good suggestions from friends and family. You fill me with acceptable responsibility. You fill me wit the joys of parenting, seeing children grow and mature. You fill me with love of family through the years, appreciating in value as parents and siblings age. You fil me with good food, both flavorful and nutritious. You fill me with hope and anticipation for each new day as I look forward to your ongoing care. You fill my senses.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Your kisses do nothing for me, Judas.”

[Not exactly what He said when Judas brought about His arrest.]
