Love More

No, it is not easy to grasp that the only way to suffer less is to love more, especially in politics. At the risk of seeming weaker. Yes, at the risk of seeming weaker I shall not build an atomic bomb, I shall not give my enemy a whack in the eye to show that I am stronger, I shall not make war, I shall not squash my tomatoes and apples with a tractor to keep the price up, I shall not destroy forests to build factories, I shall not poison the sea. If love is the rule of my politics and the thrust of my action, yes, I really shall suffer less and I shall cause less suffering in others.

Where's Waldo?

Looking for Christ in the American Easter season can be a lot like pouring over a "Where's Waldo" book. I searched "Easter" on google images this morning...the first full screen of images had ONE tiny reference to Christ. See if you can find it...

Why WWJD?

I've recently been doing some research on the origins and popularity of the "What would Jesus do" phrase. While it has become hip and cheap today, it gained real popularity in the early 1900's after the publication of "In His Steps."

According to Wikipedia..."Chicago Advance, the original publisher, failed to register the copyright in the proper form. Other publishers took advantage of this, publishing the book without paying the author royalties. Thus lower prices and multiple publishers led to larger sales."
