| Jeremiah 17:9-10 |
People murdered each
other last week – a young man in California opened fired on several, after
stabbing three others to death.
Snipers on rooftops in Ukraine literally picked off people scattering
for cover, and a Pakistani family stoned a pregnant woman to death for marrying
the man she loved to recover the family honor they thought she lost.
And I fret about
weeds and wrinkles.
Retribution is an
old problem – older than the weapons we use against each other. If we could
disarm the whole world of its weapons, could we disarm our hearts?
o What
broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another? ~ Alan Paton
o
Who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe. ~John Milton, Paradise Lost, 1667
Who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe. ~John Milton, Paradise Lost, 1667
o
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no
one thinks of changing himself. ~Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
