Shalom! Salaam! Just Do It!

Someone gave me a T-Shirt with those words on the front of the shirt.
Just Do It! Nike uses those words for its motto. I think Jesus is always
telling us the same: Love one another. When we start to complain of how
difficult it is to love this person or that person, Jesus jumps in and simply
says - Just Do It!

Making Peace! - But it is so difficult! The Lord says, the Needs of our country and world
shout to us: Just do it!

So, how today, can you and I be peacemakers? How can we bring peace based on justice
to our world - to your world of family, friends, office, neighborhood.

One way is to hold precious, in our minds and hearts, words of peace, blessings of peace for all.
Did you ever stand in your home and face the north, then the east, then the south, then the
west. Raise your hands toward each direction and pray peace on all who live in that direction.
Send peace-filled energy and love to all who struggle for peace in that direction - in Iraq, in
India, in Columbia and Cuba, in Korea and Viet Nam, into the home and hearts of neighbors......

What can you and I do today to bring greater Peace on earth?
