i wanna be green.

it's past 4 am in the morning... and i'm watching discovery home.... nope not discovery channel... one of their many spinoff channels...

i've been sick for over a week now... and i have to admit it's got me thinking about eating more organic type things to get a better nutritional diet going... i've really been mulling over this whole eco-friendly/green/organic/recycling/environmentalist (read: tree hugger) thing and how christians are called to be good stewards of God's creation... I think in the past 50 years or so with the technological revolution we as humans have grown apart from God's creation... it really has been laying heavy on my heart and on my mind... in 2 generations, most of the knowledge our grandparents were raised on, have been forgotten... we live in fast food, disposable world where nothing gets reused... and we forget that when we "throw something away", we are actually throwing it somewhere... it actually goes somewhere... somewhere there is a huge pile of your garbage... seriously... bottled water? it was recently exposed that a large quantity of bottled water is actually california's purified tap water... in a "disposable" container... seriously... get a glass... or a reusable water bottle... and if you can't stand the tap, get a 30 dollar water filter... in the end it will be up saving you cash... keep in mind i say that with a bottle of water in front of me... i am sick and my mom brought it to me.... what can i say... it was a moment of weakness... the point is, i'm fully aware of my hypocrisy... i want to be better... i'm making small steps to be better... and that's the point... small steps... outside of God, our life is dependent on this earth... and i think it's important to put back as much as we took out... i think we take little responsibility in our actions, and eventually someone is gonna pay for our mistakes... and i think a lot of ways, we ourselves are paying for it with our health... asthma is on the rise, cancer is on the rise... what are we doing differently? God gave us stewardship of this earth, not ownership... psalm 24:1. maybe it's time we all started taking small steps...
