A Whisper of Hope and Peace ...


This morning on CBC Radio One, we hear the news that two more Canadian soldiers have fallen to a suicide bombing in Kandahar ...

The news of violence around the world is legion ... our broadcasts on radio and tv are full of images of conflict and suffering ... our newspapers carry column after column of bad news ...

Then as I sit with my coffee getting ready for my day a voice breaks through with a wise whisper of peace and hope ... Anna Marie Tremonte interviewed Former President Jimmy Carter this morning about his new book that prophetically calls for PEACE in the Middle East, and maintains it is not only possible, but obligatory.

Today ... May God continue to Bless the voices of wisdom and faith like those of a "washed up peanut farmer from Georgia" ... Jimmy Carter is a true gentleman and a statesman ... too bad the adminstration in Washington has it's ears plugged and it's eyes covered ... The world could be a radically different place if we had the courage to listen to guys like Jimmy, and tuned out the Georges, Donalds and Dicks of the world ...
