Quote of the Day: (Words that humble me on the fifteenth year anniversary of 911)
"Do you want to know who will be blessed? Not the powerful ones with lots of money and weapons.
No, the poor will be blessed.
Not the ones who can shout the loudest and get their way. No, the meek will be blessed.
Not the ones who will kill their enemies. No, the ones who are persecuted for doing what's right.
Not those who play it safe, but those who stand up for the sake of justice.
Not the clever and the sly, but the pure in heart.
Not those who make war. No, those who make peace."
Brian McLaren, The Secret Message of Jesus, p.15)
