What If

What if...

the rain Gently fell everyday?

the sun could only warm us to 72?

greed & hate suddenly disappeared?

everyone asked what if we all loved each other and shared our bounty?

Christ came knocking at the door for a meal or some cash?

we all agreed that there is only one god and everyone is choosen?

all the weapons (including privately owned) vanished?

we didn't have too ask what if?

How is this for a word...
"RE..CLUES..IVE" yes, reclusive? It is sounds like a very satisfying afternoon or weekend.  No phones, faxes, tv's, or radios.  Only the whispering of trees and the singing of birds with the wind gently conducting.

Its easy to be unappreciative or thoughtless. Its almost an inborne trait for the species survival.  The circuit it seems, has shorted. We grow learning to be competetive, pushsy as needed, even ruthless.

With GOD we trust on our money and avarice in our hearts we bow before the false god of wealth and power so we too can tell our like minded friends and neighbors how well we have done as we are leaving the church, our time for this week put in, an hour of prayer, a verbose sermon on sin and a short lived dose of guilt. 

Hearts without the desire to gather treasures on earth are unfortunately rare and also unfortunately a threat to those whom cannot buy, intimidate or impress this type of person. 

This world can be funny.  If you really overtly Love God, you become accused of being a Christ imitator or a zelot of dangerous proportions.  Whatever you are labled you become ex-clu-ed and are not easily welcomed anywhere.

It's a familiar story and has been passed down for at least two millenia and as we bypeds are famous for being slow at change the sad story will continue long after everyone alive on earth today has gone.

I don't go to chuch!  In part because it is uninspiring and because I like to be able to speak in silence to the Lord.

I'm a freak but.... you know.
