I pray that in 2006 the spiritual barriers which make people hate those who call God by some other name will fall, and that Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, Taoists, Wiccans, and all Native peoples will recognize our sameness.
I pray that 2006 will be the year in which the elders will look their grandchildren in the eye, and say, "I will make sure there is a good world for you".
I pray that it will be the year in which citizens of all nations will withdraw their energy from the corporate rulers, and find ways to cooperate locally, and build communities that work.
A blessing for all of us:
Numbers 6: 24-26The LORD bless you and keep you!
The LORD let his face shine upon
you, and be gracious to you!
The LORD look upon you kindly and
give you peace!
