Aged and Sparkling

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Disturbing the peace is an offense that can land us in jail. So why do we put up with those who promote war?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

As my story unfolds, I encounter many surprises and countless pleasures. I enjoy new sights, walk new paths, explore new places. In truth they are quite old, most of them. That they seem new to me bestows a freshness upon them. Even though some of them show signs of old age, deterioration even, that, too, carries a measure of freshness for me.

It is, I hope, similar with me. I age, but I am not simply old. I carry newness within, originality, creativity, provocative sparkle. Like you, ever new.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Whatever you say, Peter.”

[Nope, it never appears in the gospels.]

D. Blog: Supreme Court Activism, Yikes!

Well, sure, corporations get a blank check. Founding Fathers never really believed in the will of the people. While we’re at it, the slogan on our currency should be changed to “In Corporations We Trust.”
