It seems to me that many of us do not understand the difference between peacemaker and peacekeeper. For the follower of Jesus, we are called to the former not the latter.

This will demand from us an engagement on conflict as we necessarily stand in the tension between two opposing sides.

Another day, another YoungPup victory. The #OldGal scored a 4!

Good morning! May you find your chill today. #Discipline2025

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” - Matthew 5:43-48

The #OldGal popped a 4 too. Hopefully, there is a #YoungPup 3 out there.

Good morning. Remember, it’s ok to be quiet. #Discipline2025

From my essay today…

If Jesus is placed in proximity to humanity by “dwelling among us”, he is placed in an even deeper way with us by taking on flesh itself. He has become one of us.
