A different sort of make-up song:
Everybody Wants A Little Peace
(Billy Gray & His Hollywood Band Box Revue, 1948)
Billy, do you think theres going to be another war?
Oh, dont be silly. Who wants to fight?
Well, what makes you so sure?
Well, I was at the UNO meeting the other day,
And internationally, they agree on one thing
And whats that?
Everybody wants a little peace.
Heaven discloses it,
Bevin* proposes it,
And no one ever opposes it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
Russias there for it,
Russians care for it,
And Polynesians go bare for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
To realize peace in Turkey and Greece,
Our country is asked to come through.
For Turkey and Greece are hard up for peace,
And I am hard up for dough. No?
Dutchmen cheer for it.
Such men paid dear for it,
And every Frenchman is queer for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
Japs may cry for it,
Lapps may sigh for it,
And I hear tell Spanish fly for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
Czechs are geared for it,
The decks are cleared for it,
And all the Greeks have been reared for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
The peace of the morn that comes with the dawn
Can give you poetic delight.
Oh, such peace is rare, but can it compare
With the peace that you had last night? Not quite.
Germans repent with it,
Greetings are sent with in,
The girls I know pay their rent with it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
Poles shout hooray! for it,
Kegelers are gay for it,
Hawaiians give you a lei for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
Now Chinas a wreck, and poor Chiang Kai-shek
Wants peace, he pleads from his dais:
I work like a devil for peace on the level,
But Chinese get peace on the bias.
Byrnes** turned gray for it,
Old maids pray for it,
And guys like me have to pay for it.
Everybody wants a little peace.
*British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin
**US Secretary of State James F. Byrnes

Not sure this song actually qualifies as a “make up song” but I can’t see the girl not running back into Harry’s arms once she heard it. It’s actually one of my all-time favorite songs, but too painful to listen to, now that my wife of 3 years has left me :( it’s been over 5 months but I still think of her morning, noon & night. It’s mental torture :((

Unseen, Yet Loved
May 13, 2016
Though you have not seen him, you love him.
1 Peter 1:8
Like others in the blogging community, Id never met the man known to us as BruceC. Yet when his wife posted a note to the group to let us know that her husband had died, a string of responses from distant places showed we all knew we had lost a friend.
BruceC had often opened his heart to us. He talked freely about his concern for others and what was important to him. Many of us felt like we knew him. We would miss the gentle wisdom that came from his years in law enforcement and his faith in Christ.
In recalling our online conversations with BruceC, I gained a renewed appreciation for words written by a first-century witness of Jesus. In the first New Testament letter the apostle Peter wrote, he addressed readers scattered throughout the Roman Empire: Though you have not seen [Christ], you love him (1 Peter 1:8).
Peter, as a personal friend of Jesus, was writing to people who had only heard about the One who had given them reason for so much hope in the middle of their troubles. Yet, as a part of the larger community of believers, they loved Him. They knew that at the price of His own life, He had brought them into the everlasting family of God.
Lord, we have never seen You, yet we believe in You and love You. Strengthen our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ who love You as well. Make us one community in You.
Our love for Christ is only as real as our love for our neighbor.
Why was there so much tension between Jewish and Gentile followers of Christ? In part, the answer is found in how ancient Israel had come to understand their relationship with God. As His chosen people, Israel had been given the law of Moses and a land of promise in order for them to live in relationship with God and with one another. Clearly, no other people group was given this unique access to and relationship with God.
This relationship, however, was never intended to be simply for their benefit. As they lived in covenant relationship with God, they were also intended to draw the surrounding Gentile nations to the God who sought relationship with them as well. The prophet Isaiah had taught them, He says, It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth (Isa. 49:6).
As a result, Israels relationship with God had a missional element to itto bring the nations to the Creator who loved them. By the time of Christ, however, this mission had not only been lost, it had been turned inside out. In the minds of the Jewish people, Gentiles had become enemies of Gods people rather than objects of Gods love.
Perhaps that is why Jesus reached out to Gentiles wherever He went: a Roman centurion, a Samaritan woman, a Canaanite woman, and more. The Son of God was teaching us by example that He had come for the lost sheep of Israel, but that He had also come to bring light to the world (John 8:12; 9:5). The heart of His children should reflect the heart of His Father, who is not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Reflection Questions
How does Jesuss attitude toward outsiders inform our love for those who do not yet know Him? Are there people in your life you have been hesitant to reach out to? How can we, in prayer, seek the help and heart of our loving Father to reach out to those who need the Savior?
For further study on this important topic, read the free Discovery Series booklet How Can I Break the Silence?
