Increasingly the need for peace grows greater. In this blog, I hope to cull readings and activities which may lead to peace. First and foremost, knowing and understanding people from different backgrounds, in my opinion, will lead us to a willingness to avoid war and work for peace in this world.

For Lasting Peace Put God First?
I had a brief errand to run in Glendale Arizona. I live in Tempe. On the return trip from ASU-West, I noticed a sign for a church, "For a Lasting Peace, Put God First." It's quite interesting that not too many months ago that sign on route 17 had quite a different message, one that parroted the Bush pro-war line.

True peace cannot come from nonpeaceful sources. God is the fountainhead of peace. Do not expect to find peace in a turbulent world until you make peace with God. Peace with God is finding harmony with God no matter what your circumstances.
I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27
All I can say to Marion's post is AMEN! One reason for not favoring mindless war. We can't achieve the peace God can give us with distractions from bombs, name calling, and other things done in the name of God.
