After the triumphal royal procession into Jerusalem at the beginning of Passion Week, Jesus’ first royal act was to enter the temple complex, go to the foreign exchange office of the treasury, and stage a raid. Ever the master of prophetic irony and sarcasm. Most of u...

LJn's Voice: January 2014
http://ljnsvoice.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 5, 2014. My daughter brought this interpretation to my attention. It seems that Jesus was not preaching pacifism at all when he preached to turn the other cheek, give someone both your cloak and coat (in this interpretation, shirt and coat), and to go the extra mile. I love this interpretation. It is from Tumblr. His coat was to turn the system on its head and symbolically state, in a very public forum, that “I have no money with which to repay this person, but they are so insistent.

The post below about Ernest Toyi, of Makamba, Burundi, Central Africa is an excellent example of how much you can change things in the world with a small intervention. I trained 43 trauma Healers like Ernest while I was there in 2003. David Niyonzima turned those 43 into 800 trained. Only a tiny percentage of them have worked with him at THARS. Here is a Reuters Country Profile for Burundi. I am going on December 27 to train a new crop of healers. I will also be teaching his present staff about compa...
