SHUT  UP

 

"Shut up!" Wait! That’s pretty strong.

Soften it up! That’s a bit better.

If you have become one of those

who have given up on your faith.

Enough already with your criticisms

of religions and churches and others,

You have to have faith in all kinds of areas.

You have to trust the water, the milk,

the beer and the words of one another.

You do. We all do. Trust is basic to life.

Be selective. If another lies or cheats

or breaks trust  - then – that’s the person

you have to watch – priest, public official,

spouse or neighbor. There are others –

lots of others whom we are called to trust.

Trust one another – till they break the trust

Wait! There is a P.S. – a postscript. It’s this:

Give God a break. Enough of the God

blame, game. Enough already.
