Wine Water Use

More From Eugene H. Peterson

I would like a wine. the purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. a bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. i would like the good wine. and since the result is the same no matter which wine i drink, i'd like to pay the bad wine price.
Wine Drunk Purpose
The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
Atheist Holiday Mean
We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song.
Running Song Wine
[christ's] mission and work it is to help against sin and death, to justify and bring life. he has placed his help in baptism and the sacrament [i.e., communion/eucharist/lord's supper], and incorporated it in the word and preaching. to our eyes baptism [capitalized in original] appears to be nothing more than ordinary water, and the sacrament of christ's body and blood simple bread and wine, like other bread and wine, and the sermon, hot air from a man's mouth. but we must not trust what our eyes see.
Wine Eye Simple
Friendship is one of the greatest gifts a human being can receive. it is a bond beyond common goals, common interests, or common histories. it is a bond stronger than sexual union can create, deeper than a shared fate can solidify, and even more intimate than the bonds of marriage or community. friendship is being with the other in joy and sorrow, even when we cannot increase the joy or decrease the sorrow. it is a unity of souls that gives nobility and sincerity to love. friendship makes all of life shine brightly.

America is woven of many strands; i would recognize them and let it so remain. it's 'winner take nothing' that is the great truth of our country or of any country. life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat. our fate is to become one, and yet many - this in not prophecy, but description.
Life Country Fate
No one is so accursed by fate, no one so utterly desolate, but some heart though unknown responds unto his own.

I can imagine few worse fates than walking around for the rest of one's life wearing a typo.
Fate Typos Imagine
[the] events by which the fate of nations is not materially changed, leave a faint impression on the page of history, and the patience of the reader would be exhausted by the repetition of the same hostilities [between rome and persia], undertaken without cause, prosecuted without glory, and terminated without effect.
