sword

This video caused me to sit and stare at the wall for a while. I can think of little more depressing and true than this:



I don't think anyone can deny what it portrays, in the way it portrays it. We humans, yes, this is how we roll.

And I think of the striking contrast of what Jesus stood for. He wasn't interested in power or land, seven wonders of the ancient world, or any of the other b.s. that leads people to divide and exploit and kill.

Freedom come at great cost. I remain ever thankful for the generations who sacrifice(d) their very lives in order to gain and preserve our freedom. And yet freedom alone is not nearly enough to make us happy much less to love truth and justice.

Live by the sword - die by the sword. Death (others and our own) is defeated through grace and mercy and love.

The crazy wild ideas of Jesus and his disciples...
