Plan 'Be'

Check out http://wecan.be. Excellent teaching on the beattitudes. They point out that Christians are always wanting to post the 10 commandments everywhere, but never the beattitudes, though they came out of the mouth of Jesus. Not knocking the big 10, mind you, but maybe it would be cool to make a really big deal out of the beattitudes. The following is copied from http://wecan.be (who got it from the Bible). 1. Blessed are the poor - or poor in spirit – who do not trust in status or riches 2. Blessed are those who mourn – who grieve over the injustice in the world 3. Blessed are the meek – who get angry but who never get aggressive 4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness - who seek justice 5. Blessed are the merciful – who are compassionate to everyone in need 6. Blessed are the pure in heart – who are whole-hearted in desire to do right 7. Blessed are the peacemakers – who work for peace in a world at war 8. Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness - who suffer for just causes
