Feeling a bit green...

Yes, I've been remiss about posting. Yes, this will be a quick shot of my internal soup instead of a carefully marinated meal. Yes, I do apologize.

Just wanted to dash down a note about a class discussion I got into yesterday. Oddly enough (or perhaps NOT oddly enough), it was in my Spiritual Formation class. We somehow began to discuss Christianity's mistreatment of the environment, fed and fueled by the "get the heck out of dodge" mindset that seems to settle on us. We get so caught up in heaven-bound thinking that we forget that Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly for the hereafter AND THE HERE AND NOW. Because we forget this, we seem to buy into the thought that we don't need to take care of our environment. We forget that moment in the garden when God granted man responsibility for caring for the physical world. We forget, we forget.

It's been said that we've left behind our cenozoic era for one of the technozoic persuasion. And that's a scary thought. Yikes.

There is more I'd like to explore with this, but not just yet. I promise a nicely marinated mind meal soon. Thanks to Joe for getting my thought process kicked into high gear this morning.
