  3. This was one of my first thoughts every new year, for at least thirty years. It was really close at times, but something always happened.
    Let's hope again...

  12. It's the prayer which has sent tingles through my body this morning. That psalm is such an ancient, so very beautiful and yet seemingly forever unfulfilled cry.

    If only there were the will, the imagination and the freedom of spirit to fulfill it.

  17. Lots of peaceful words but seldom do they work out or last for long. I wonder, sometimes, why that is.

  23. Peace for Jerusalem and the Holy Land and for the whole world is essential; it's mainly a matter of intelligence: with the progress reached, I think man HAS the intelligence to set up a peaceful world.

  27. PAX (PAX TV). Thats the name used for a television station over here.I always suspected it was a member of the Christian broadcasting systems. Leave it to the good ole US of A to colonize a word for profit...Interesting
