What Do We Ask For?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Is it just me, or do lots of other people think war is a huge waste – of lives, energy, time, money, material, minds, spirits – when there are many more important things we should be doing?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I like to think that I’m a good person. Then I recall that Jesus said only you are good. Okay, I won’t argue that point. However, that might just mean my goodness is not the same as yours, that mine does not reach your perfection. That’s okay, too. You’re the holy and perfect One. I am but a reflection of your goodness, but I’m as good as I can be, because ultimately I inherited all my best qualities from you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“I’m sure I did not ask the caterers for escargots at this last supper.”

[And I’m sure He never said this.]

The old maxim:
You get what you ask for.
