What would Jesus Do? 
Certainly not everything
I ask -- far wiser! Honestly,
I doubt that any of us knows.
Would He turn the other cheek?
Perhaps, turn a few tables over?
Call all Father's children, his
sacred sisters and brothers,
or a generation of Vipers and
snakes?  Instead of armies,
would He have sent Social
Workers to settle with Hitler?
What I don't want to do...
is someday stand before God
and say, while the world was
burning, and innocence being
consumed, all I did was pray

when a bucket of water sat
beside me....

I can understand and agree....praying is important but action is part of the responsibility (in my mind) Enjoyed your thought provoking poem

You are a man of action 'Joe Dimino' Yet its a hard line to hold..However we Should realise we all struggle in our own Way.' The early Christians won through By prayer alone..And Gods action.' Yet Who knows the manner for our time? I will pray for your victorys.'
