You Want To Read This One

Do you ever find yourself wondering
why it is that there is so little
love in the world? Given that we
know that Jesus is the most
remarkable of all teachers, ever-
do you ever find yourself
wondering, why is there so
little love in the world?

Sure, the easy thing to do is
now to go into some silly diatribe
that you've gotten used to-
it's the usual response of what
we call faith; following Jesus,
when somebody asks a question
we aren't particularly comfortable
answering; we shut down the messenger.

The messenger gets used to this,
and so they limit the amount of
material that they will spew to
a basic twenty minute speech-
because my contention is that
most of the sermons now preached
in what we loosely call the United
States of America, intend nothing,
and accomplish what they intend.

Sounds cynical- but; uh, when we
go back to that basic question-
my sense is, it's not cynical
at all, it is pragmatic. Jesus
was nothing, if He wasn't supremely
pragmatic, the all time realist.

Don't see Him that way- aw c'mon
what do you think he meant about
a person who'd waste their time
putting together a mansion
built on sand? To a lawyer
who wanted to play twenty
questions, our Jesus cut the
number down to two- Love God-
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Now let's get back to what we
can do about love in the world-
and this next statement is meant
to shock you; let's see if you
are not anesthetized to the point
that it doesn't- one response that
will work, is not prayer. If
you added up the sheer weight
of prayers prayed about love in
the world- they'd move the Earth
out of orbit- and still, love
is nearly gone out of this world.

You want answers as does any
reasonable person, so my first
suggestion is going to be-
come back for another dose
tomorrow, but today, try loving
somebody by letting them know
they matter to you, and you
love them. Gotta start somewhere...
