Update about blog

The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

May we no longer need soldiers

I am grateful for the concept of a peace-keeper.

I wish that we no longer needed to consider soldiers necessary.

When we pray for peace on earth, and even write it on many Christmas cards, do we ever think how hard it would actually be?  Assuming that those who aren't Christians also want the same thing, it is a great intellectual exercise.

In the meantime, thank you to all who have served their countries believing that their sacrifice would be for the greater good. 

When we consider a global economy, do we consider a global identity?  That the Chinese and South Africans and Brazilians (to pick any cultures out of my hat) could all just be humans? 

Right.
