News or Gossip

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Nothing is strong enough to shake me from the arms of the divine. My peace has a lifetime guarantee.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Do other people have this sense that the course of their lives has been remarkable? When I think about it, it seems as if my life’s journey has had a lot of excitement, transition, variety and goodness. I’d say yes to “wonderful,” for sure, but also “astonishing,” “amazing,” “glorious” and “blessed.” My thanks for the opportunities and experiences of love and joy and laughter to go with the creative path on which you’ve led me.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Which end of this spork thing is the handle?”

[We all want to know, but He didn’t.]

D. Blog: But Is It News?

“Talk show hostess to resign”

[Something about watching people talk to one another when we can’t be part of the conversation strikes me as being akin to eavesdropping on gossip. We might like gossip about celebrities, but I question whether it qualifies as news.]
