Peace

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.”

 (Matthew 5:9)

Down by the river,  scribbled on the door of  a deteriorating warehouse,

 is the word "PEACE." 

True, a place that is falling in doesn't look very peaceful, but it sure mirrors

 the destructive forces in life and our hope for PEACE. 

The verse, taken from "The Sermon on the Mount," 
is the seventh beatitude preached by Jesus. When I think of peacemakers,
 I recall Sheriff Andy Taylor in "The Andy Griffith Show."

 The TV sheriff was called upon to make peace time and again, 
reconciling conflicts among the people of Mayberry.  

Below is a clip from Andy's introduction as the sheriff 
of Mayberry on "The Danny Thomas Show."
