Honeybun
This morning, when I was doing personal Godwriting with God, He called me Beloved. That did me in. Just to think: God called me Beloved.
Then I thought: What if everyone called everyone Beloved?
I know I would swoon. I would turn into a blob of melted butter. Probably it would be too much for me. Whose nervous system could sustain everyone's being called Beloved? Nevertheless, I would like to find out what it would be like.
Then I thought that perhaps not everyone is so bowled over by Beloved as I am. So then everyone could use any nickname they wanted to, any nickname that is dear to them, any nickname that comes to mind.
And they could switch depending upon how they feel at any particular moment. There would not have to be consistency. Cutie-pie, Honeybun, Sweetie, Darling, Beautiful, Precious… there must be thousands of endearing names. Any one of them would do.
Then I realized that this could well be the sixth way to achieve world peace -- the simple use of pet names! Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? Do you think we’re on to something? Just think what would happen to the world if every head of state called every other head of state Schatzi, Canim, Querido, my little Babushka, and so on. What other endearing names do you think of?
There is a series of blog entries I wrote called How to End All Wars, I, II, III, IV, and V. This entry is properly How to End All Wars VI, and I would call it that except I happen to like the title Honeybun better.
If the world would take seriously even one of my suggestions, I believe there would be an end to all wars. What do you think?

Dearest Gloria,
That GOD calls you Beloved,I can understand,whats more, GOD is so right, as per usual.
The idea of Bush calling Putin, "Honeybun" could start another war.Better "G'Day Mate" the Australian way. Although can You imagine Queen Elizabeth Reaction to such an address? In the meantime we live and Hope Love light and blessings Jack
Dear Jack,
you made me laugh and ponder. As a matter of fact, this could be a double-edged weapon, as some people in the world, in their pride, would never accept being called with 'nicknames'. Maybe 'beloved' could be the only solution, if used with the right tone of voice. It touches the heart more than the much used 'dear'.
You two showed me that I don't think of everything!
You are right.
Jack, the scenario you painted so well. Right, it could backfire. You made me laugh.
Paula, a double-edged sword indeed! And I am so happy you laughed.
Some people don't like to be called Sweetie or whatever.
Even if someone were sincere, the other person might not take it in the right way.
We'll have to think of another plot to end all wars.
Its an amazing experience when someone says your full name from their heart. With eyes twinkling from the light shining out, a steady devoted gaze and a subtle warm smile, just the simple saying of a name can have a profound effect. This happened to me once and it felt like for the first time in my life someone had seen who I really am. It felt like I was a drying plant graciously saved by a heaven sent steady rain. I actually felt myself expand and stand more steadily.
Pet names between senators and congress people, police commanders and their officers? This would make a classic panto! It does have some How to end all wars potential.
What an entertaining entry! Glorious Gloria, you do not have to think of everything when your intentions are so pure. I agree with One - it is really how the name is delivered that makes all the difference in the energy. Some people naturally speak with a Divine voice and can fill us up simply by speaking our name. As for the world peace plan, the pet names wouldn't have to be sugary sweet (though I confess I love and use the oh-so-sweet ones all the time). My Good Friend, Bon Ami, Compadre, Dear Friend, etc. could all do much to ease tensions between dissenting parties.
Here's to waging Peace, Heavenly Comrades.
Yes, One and Jo, beloved angels, you are both so right. Sweet words are great, yet they have to come from a true heart. It is my true heart that calls you sweethearts.
Do you have a middle name, One?
One Love?
