Colossian Challenge: let the peace of Christ rule in your heart

some bloggy thoughts on this week's challenge:
LET--allow, permit, welcome, open up to
PEACE--not just the absence of conflict, inner warfare, but the active presence of calm, rest and nonviolence
CHRIST--both the practical human Jesus, who practiced nonviolence and the interior life so he could live the exterior life in face of violence, and the Christ, whose intimacy with God was so close as to seem indistinguishable, allowing for harmony that is cosmic
RULE--take first place, inform all the rest of life
YOUR--don't worry about anyone else, get right yourself first
HEART--not just the seat of emotions, where peace is often disrupted, but also in the mind/thoughts, where unpeaceful thoughts often distract
