Peace on the Back Burner

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

When peace gets put on the back burner, we get burned.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

“Blessings all mine, and 10,000 beside…” Does it get any better than this? Perhaps, but for me this is good enough, more than I hoped. Life is good, Yeah!
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Call no man 'father,' unless he’s celibate, of course.”

[He never gave birth to this conundrum]

D. Blog: Snowfall

Snow has fallen, snow on snow. Its beauty lasts even less than it will. Or perhaps the beauty is what lasts – in memories and photographs. But then when snow melts, it lasts in other ways, ways that nourish and sustain the planet and the life forms living on it. Isn’t that the way of all beauty? Even if it at times involves some struggle or hardship, it enriches our lives.
