Flower Child Scoop

There is too much hate in the world. Leave it out of the Soup. Here is my flower child 
scoop:  “Make love not war.”

Eileen Manassian

I'm NOT a flower child, but this quotation from that era is pertinent today. Innuendos 
and sarcasm, implications hoping for inferences have no place here. We all need to 
heed this advice from Paul.

New International Version (Romans 13:8)
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another.
