Felony Conversion?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Left to our own devices, we often wind up slaughtering one another and destroying the peace available when we rely on God’s devices.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You are in all time and space, so we can encounter and interact with you any time and any place. At school, on the job, in a medical office, a grocery store, a gas station, mowing the yard, walking in the woods. Why do we try to limit our encounters to a specific time and place? Silly of us, if not downright blasphemous.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Gimme a ‘G’. Gimme an ‘O.’ Gimme a ‘D’. What’s it spell?... Oh, right. You can’t spell.”

[Why He didn’t turn the Sermon on the Mount into a pep rally.]

D. Blog: “Felony Conversion”

BLACK MOUNTAIN — Police say a Fairview woman kept rented kitchen appliances worth $2,458. Tammy Diane Morgan, 38, was charged with felony conversion, according to a warrant served Monday. The warrant states Morgan failed to return the appliances to Aaron’s Rental on U.S. 70 in Black Mountain. Bond was set at $1,000.

[I like the idea of felony conversion, but this isn’t the meaning I’d attach to it…]
