Dear Jesus.

Don't bother coming back. Just grab all the jerks & rapture them wherever you feel is best. I am so tired of being good & getting no credit for goodness, being ordinary & bland.

Love, an admirer.

Jesus, brother, you are correct. While the rage and despair are understandable, I think it would be valuable to remember something that Martin Luthor King said. This is not a direct quote, but it is, I believe, something we need. He said that anger, properly directed, is a call...a demand...for justice. This means that 1) anger is NOT a 'negative' emotion and 2) we need to learn that love and anger can - when focused on the things, people and actions that are unjust - create justice without violence. The ability to do so is something that signals adulthood and a more enlightened approach to life. We say we want peace, but peace begins and has its home in the human heart and mind. Thank you for the reminder.
