Reflection for September 14

Wishful Thinking

 Christianity is mainly wishful thinking. Even the part about Judgment and Hell reflects the wish that somewhere the score is being kept.

Dreams are wishful thinking. Children playing at being grow-ups is wishful thinking. Interplanetary travel is wishful thinking.

Sometimes wishing is the wings the truth comes on.

Sometimes the truth is what sets us wishing for it (Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking).
