war
God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.
Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.
Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.
War ... should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits. -- James Madison, “Universal Peace”, January 31, 1792
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.... A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice—is often the means of their regeneration. -- John Stuart Mill, Dissertations and Discussions
War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure. -- Adrienne Rich, What is Found There
Another mellow day yesterday. I finished one project at Accountemps and began another I hope to finish today. I had a good interview at TXU Communications, but I'm not sure how soon they might need me. After work, Laura from the Galleria office called, and we talked and laughed a while. I ran by Walgreens and Starbucks before going to the six o'clock AA meeting at which Richard told his story. Mom and Dad met me for dinner at Ojeda's afterwards where we got into a heated debate about President Bush and the war in Iraq. They then came by to see my new condo. We had some coffee, and I showed them my plans for the place.
Thank God it's Friday!
