We are <i>so</i> grateful for the changes you're making in your walk with God. We find that taking steps to care for creation are transformational of our Christian walk 100% of the time.<br /><br />I'm extremely interested in using a condensed version of your post in an upcoming newsletter. Would you be interested? Please get in touch with me at contact@blessedearth.org and I'll get you more details.<br /><br />Again, thanks for your obedience to God and your kindness toward creation.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Will Sears<br />Director of Communication<br />Blessed Earth<br />http://www.blessedearth.orgWill Searshttp://www.blessedearth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16866135.post-34613586331911526772009-10-04T18:37:12.334-05:002009-10-04T18:37:12.334-05:00I've learned so much from you and Ste-en about...I've learned so much from you and Ste-en about healthful living over the time I've known you! My grandmother is depression-era, and she always had all of these crazy little quirky things she would do, including washing and re-using ziplock bags whenever possible. I've found myself following suit when they aren't too greasy or icky to wash and allow to drip-dry. Just a suggestion!Stephaniehttp://www.stephwoodward.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16866135.post-83504255654976211432009-10-04T16:42:44.837-05:002009-10-04T16:42:44.837-05:00very well said. i think i've been much more o...very well said. i think i've been much more observant about what nature has to reveal to us about God, but i need to take more steps toward caring for things. For example, we don't recycle. I make all kinds of excuses since we don't have a service - it's too much work to haul it somewhere, etc. But, being responsible takes work. No one said it would be easy. I will say I've become a freak about unplugging things - it drives Brad crazy when he goes to turn on the oven and he can't!maryhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532339726225096846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16866135.post-46751983722450964582009-10-04T10:50:24.833-05:002009-10-04T10:50:24.833-05:00I love this post, Christine, and think you articul...I love this post, Christine, and think you articulated such an important very well! I'm not sure why it's so hard for us to grasp that having "dominion" over nature does not grant us power to use it up at our whim, but rather, that "dominion" endows us with a responsibility to care for nature, just as a parent with dominion over a child doesn't use that power to abuse the child, but to cultivate life.allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621793543013390500noreply@blogger.com
