War is Over

Since this week begins on the eve of Christmas Eve I thought this song appropriate. It’s prefaced by a few interview clips with John Lennon, sharing his thoughts on peace and love and world leaders, etc. He may not have had different questions (what ARE we trying to do?) or much different to say today… No violence, no violent minds or households, no starving children, no frustration, no fear. Amen.

My thoughts go out to our soldiers in Iraq at this time of year when they and their families must miss each other so. When they are moving targets as we shop at Target and brave merely the mall and its crowded parking lots and walkways, some people have real problems. Godspeed to them. I’m grateful for the comfort I’m able to live in, from my personal freedom to going to a movie, to dinner, to my warm cozy bed with a roof over my head. We live in what could easily be considered obscene abundance by some as compared to so many.  We are blessed. Be joyous and be well, and enjoy a safe and peaceful holiday week.
