Suffering from Mulligrubs?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace might mean admitting having done wrong in the world. That could hurt our pride.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You give us visions of a world that could be, visions of a reality that could replace the one we have experienced.
You give us dreams of a society that could be, dreams of compassion, justice and peace.
Let our actions move us in the direction of our visions; let our attitudes reflect our dreams.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Guys, Thaddeus won the contest for our new slogan: the few, the proud, the disciples! Now go out there and recruit!”

[Not quite what Matthew recorded Him saying when He told them to go and make disciples.]
