"Let there be peace on Earth" (and let it begin by seeing the violence in me)

"Let there be peace on Earth" (and let it begin by seeing the violence in me) The title of this blog is not quite as catchy as the original song title, but it indicates the only chance for real peace on earth. Would we cry out for peace if we didn't see and feel the ravages of violence...
