The War Thing

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Only those with hope and trust find peace.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Thank you for the gift of time, without which there is no life. That was a stupendous idea you have. But we need experiences of your timelessness, too. I wonder whether the tendency to structure and fill our time has the by-product of eliminating the openings for glimpses of the timeless and eternal – you. I am grateful for all encounters with you, in the countless ways they come.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“When in Samaria, do as the Samaritans do.”

[The alternative lesson to one of His parables, but it never caught on.]

D. Blog: Tuesday Haiku

I don’t get it, this war thing.
Explain to me why
you believe it works.
