What a timely verse for the times we're facing:
Jeremiah 17:7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."
What an incredible promise..."it has no worries in a year of drought"!
How is that so? What will people be asking us when they feel that all is falling around them? Will we still be bearing fruit?
The answer is clear in the verse 7..."blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him." Easily said I'm sure. But the promise is enough to cause us to stand firm. Leaning on Him has never been more crucial or 'environmentally' friendly.
*inspired by an aside note from pastor Mike Williams a couple of weeks ago. Thanks ps. Mike :)

on the non-spiritual side of things, I'm not sure that side exists but, have you ever considered "going green" my wife and I have thought about it... haven't done it yet.
we are most definitely doing the things that we feel are important. Especially when it comes to eating. Many of our purchases have been conscientious of fair trade, using non-toxic chemicals etc. There is plenty we don't do, but you know. I'm not too fanatic about anything like that except for common sense behavior and Jesus!
