“Peace, if possible; truth at all costs.” (Martin Luther) War and lying were problems way back in the days of Luther. He tried his hand reforming the Church as well as reforming the morality of the world around him. The need for reformation continues today. Whatever happened to being a peacemaker and telling the truth? ;-) Jack
FROM M.L. IN ILLINOIS: i was lying in bed this morning-that moment before rising and facing the day...i was pondering the actions and words of jesus as i was taught. i am ever saddened by humankind's inability to "turn the other cheek". we must learn to think before acting...to love and understand in place of hate and fear. then, i hopped out of bed and read these winning words. life is full of sychronicity. thank you.

Fear makes me cowardly and I know that all too well. Just pray to be together with enough people who have inkling on the same wave length of some aspect of truth to give me some backbone and hopefully, if we really are in line with truth, truth that God is author of and is leading us toward, a more peaceful world will come about.
