Calvary, the place where ...I can see the cross, R.<br /><br />Calvary, the place where Christ suffered and died at the hands of the civil and religious politicians of His day, is the holiest shrine in Christianity. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are Calvaries. <br /><br />Here, Christ in the bodies of the "least" was again tortured and put to death hundreds of thousands of times over by exactly the same dark and deceitful spirit of organized lovelessness that roamed Jerusalem two thousand years ago.beth cioffolettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300116274007165612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-10705934921068368312011-08-09T19:26:27.728-05:002011-08-09T19:26:27.728-05:00Interesting article.

Seems like it's the one thing we can count on. <br /><br />I noticed something ironic in todays image. Along the top edge of the photo to the right there is a bit of debris that resembles a small cross, almost as if it's a grave marker. I know that it isn't but I saw it the first moment I looked at the image and now can't see it any other way. From nails to atomic bombs to naplam to smart bombs to drones....the crucifying continues. <br /><br />Nice blogspot, Thanks for your effort.

It is hard for me to believe that President Truman, himself a veteran of WWI, which was a grusome bloddy war, was not distressed at the loss of so much life. I have many letters that were sent to my mother in NJ, from my dad who was in Europe during WWII. He mentions many times about the possibility of moving to the pacific theater after the war in Europe. Of course he did not have to go. Now, did "the bomb" save lives? I would think so - how many more soldiers would have died if the war continued? Did the end justify the means? I don't think so....All those innocent men, women and children - losing their lives. Dropping the bombs was the wrong move...yet, I am not to judge.I must leave that up to God.Brianhttp://www.abookofeverything.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822894759353679437.post-44175718532498960502011-08-09T10:20:11.298-05:002011-08-09T10:20:11.298-05:00Her article has lost none of its power or insight ...Her article has lost none of its power or insight over the years...JofIndiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091187070268922483noreply@blogger.com
