Peace to you all, my friends, in this holiday season. My wish for you

That reminds me of Gil Scott-Heron.

“Peace is not the absence of war
It is the absence of the rumors of war
And the threats of war
And the preparation for war”

As a Protestant of the Anglican/Episcopal Church variety, I’m not overly concerned about who exactly the pope/bishop of Rome is, though I’m very conscious of that individual’s influence on the global stage. May Pope Leo XIV be a humble servant of Christ and the particular corner of the Church he leads. Praying for Pope Leo, and for the world, in these crazy times.

"Peace is not the absence of war,
it is the absence of the rules of war and the threats of war and the preparation for war."

William Mackergo Taylor, Congregationalist minister in Edinburgh & NYC, writes on Lazarus. Rich man ended up in hell but for abuse of the man but for a use of riches that failed it glorify its Owner.

I hear folks use “trustee” language to fight taxes but not for good of neighbor. How can you be a good neighbor today?
