International Day of Peace – September 21, 2016
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.
The Day’s theme for 2016 is “The Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace.”
My friends lets resolve to spend our lives seeking peace and love. We must reject violence, racism, bias, homophobia and hate. Our world is a fragile place where we all live together on the same planet. It must start in our hearts and spill out into our communities. It’s time to build bridges of hope and reconciliation to make our world a better place. For more information visit the United Nations page at International Day of Peace.
Quote Of The Day
Live in peace my friends. Don’t wait to rest in peace…Me, I Said This.

Tonight the Rio Olympics officially start in Rio. Athletes from around the world will gather to compete for gold, silver and bronze. It’s always an exciting time to see these games with ancient roots. May the athletes and others gathering and be safe from harm and that peace will be the theme of the events.
I Wonder About Peace
I wonder when there will be a time where we love our neighbor as ourselves and stop listening to those who give that commandment lip service. Too many believers are listening to politicians and pundits who espouse paranoia and hate. I think its time to turn weapons into plowshares, to end constant war to live in peace. We should should think of arms of love instead of arms of destruction.
I posted this a year ago on Facebook. It still holds truth today.
Spreading Peace Everywhere
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
May the peace of your creator sustain you.
May there be peace in our hearts so it can be in our homes.
May peace be in our homes that it spills out into community.
May there be peace in our communities that it spreads into the world.
May there be peace universal, global, in eternity
May peace be in all of time and space throughout all dimensions.
May you have that kind of peace always.
