Ponder This...
The website Inward/Outward (a project of the Church of the Savior) had this powerful quote from Daniel Berrigan posted last week:

‘Of course, let us have peace,’ we cry, ‘but at the same time let us have normalcy, let us lose nothing, let our lives stand intact, let us know neither prison nor ill repute nor disruption of ties….’ There is no peace because there are no peacemakers. There are no makers of peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.

I remember this quote from a number of years ago and seeing it again was a powerful reminder to me that there are lots of things that don't change as the times and circumstances change. This is truly one of them.
