I was reading Keeping the Sabbath Wholly and she mentioned a posture she used to have. It said, "A plan for peace: Let all the Christians of the world decide that they will not kill each other." But what about everybody else. Won't they just kill us off. That's a stupid plan.
Or is it? What if the Christians could do that? then when we have gotten it right, we invite the other children of Abraham to agree not to kill each other. Then when we all have it going on, we pursue the same arrangement with all of our brothers and sisters around the world.
"if" can be a very BIG word - almost paralyzing. But "if" between you and me is a very little word, a very do-able word. If we, you and me, decide not to kill each other, maybe we could decide not to hurt each other. Then maybewe could decide to help each other. If we could do that, maybe we could decide to help others as well. Shalom, y'all.

"Help others", even those we don't necessarily get along with. That's a very tall order now-a-days, evidenced just by reading the news and political blogs. Not many have a "peaceful" attitude towards one another. I'll try, and I promise not to kill anyone!
