A few words from the ages on this birthday celebration of a very wise spiritual teacher:From those who foretold the teacher's birth:
“’There is no peace for the wicked,’ says my God.” Isaiah 57:21 (New Living Translation Bible, NLT)
… from those who carried on the teacher's work:
“Do your part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible.” Romans 12:18 (NLT)
… and from the mouth of the teacher hisownself.
“God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9 (NLT)
Sigh. If only the current national administration could read these words. But they clearly haven’t, so I guess it’s the fiery pit for all of them.
Which is probably for the best. I couldn’t imagine sitting across the table from Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney for all eternity.
Merry Christmas.
And Happy Holidays.

That's enough to give one religion! :)
