Things that probably would have bummed Jesus out
I was feeling fairly depressed about the world and the state of things. In nearly every country there are enormous problems and people are bickering and divided. Instead of agreeing on solutions, people are creating problems with their actions. People who have influence, power and money seem to be stirring the pot or creating more chaos and unlove. Then I remembered that Jesus probably had the same kind of issues happening around him when he walked the earth. He seemed to be able to allow the bad things to arise, but still move forward in love.

Rome was not kind to those who did not submit
