Today is Earth Day and it is Good Friday.
Ironic...We celebrate Earth Day on the day our Lord was laid in the Earth.
In Genesis God gives man dominion over all of his creation.
What a gift to us. Over the birds of the air and the creatures of the sea. Over the plants that cover the earth and the animals that live there. What a responsibility. This is a day that celebrates this creation.
Starting Monday a fellow employee and I will start carpooling.
With the recent spike in gas prices it is ridiculous for both of us to come from the same direction at the same time. Our contribution to our carbon footprint that we probably would have never done without gas prices.
Do something today to conserve our responsibility. To take care of our earth.
God will smile.

lay on your back and let it all hang out
Today as I said, it was beautiful here...I put lights up on the back porch so I can sit out back at night and enjoy a glass of wine and see to read a book...while climbing up and down the ladder I noticed Freckles rolling on her back with her legs up in the air just squirming and the entire time just whining like it was the best thing that could happen to you...
You know I have suddenly become very open to a lot of things and I thought what the heck...it makes her happy...i bet it would make me happy too.
Did I say I had been working in my flower gardens, cleaning the garage, etc...I think I threw my back out...but you know what..I agree with her..it felt pretty darn good...sunshine..cool grass...fresh dirt...what more could you want?? I had picked up the dog poop for the day!
God's earth is good..sometimes we forget that...he gives us a gift every day of sunshine, moon light, the smell after a rain, a flower bud, warm weather, puppies and the earth. With it comes responsibilities..it is easy to forget the lesson in Genesis...we have dominion over it all...and he is holding us accountable for how we use it.
Today I challenge you to get close to it...go outside..take off your shoes, wiggle your toes in the grass...if you are brave lay down on your back and wiggle like a dog you will be surprised how good you will feel!!
God bless.
