Remembrance Day : Seeking Out the Kingdom of God

I spent the day today touring the Calgary Military Museum with my three little cousins. It was very moving as I reflected on the costs that war and violence has had and is having on our country and on us as humans. I pray that we are soon able to find peace and rekindle the fires of what it means to really build the Kingdom of God here on earth where the guns will no longer be firing, bombs will no longer be blowing, and neighbors can embrace one another as sisters and brothers. May the real Empire take shape in our hearts and minds rather then the political conceptualizations which we have made it out to be. I hope you find peace this Remembrance Day!
