I run across things from time to time, that I really like, but I also recognize that they might be wishful thinking.
A few weeks ago, my Pastor read about the Methodist Church's stance for peace. I love peace, I think everyone does, but there does come a time when what we wish for is no longer possible.
The other day I saw a shirt with this slogan, "The world is a sphere, there is no east or west." I love that. I love the idea that we are all in this together and that we can/should all get along.
I would like to think that 100 of my friends could go to Washington, be the Senate and actually treat each other with respect.
No East or West? I wish it were true, but we have seen it playing out during my entire life that there is a competition, a separation between the two.
I can affect nothing on the world stage, but I will say this: in my own life, in every way that I can, I am going to work to include everyone and to value everyone. At least in my own little sphere, there does not have to be an East and a West.
Care to join me?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
