Green Words and Thoughts

I keep trying to come up with ways to be more disciplined about writing on this site, and I think I may have something. I was going through the resources in my new Green Bible (see previous post), and I found the section "Teachings on Creation through the Ages" to be very inspiring. One of the contributors, J. Matthew Sleeth, compiled a collection of sayings about care for creation. So, regardless of whether or not I have a new post, I am going to attempt to offer one of these sayings each week. Perhaps it can shape your prayer and meditation for the day or week.

Here's the first one: "I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth." -The Apostles' Creed (first century)

I really found this interesting. I'm still improving on all of my efforts to go green, but I know I've gotten better. Thanks for writing this.

Also, I'm looking forward to a book coming out on April 1 by Nancy Sleeth. It's called, Go Green Save Green. Her husband wrote another book, Serve God Save the Planet, that is what actually got me started on all this.

The website says it has "Hundreds of simple, easy-to-implement money-saving tips for going green at home and at the office." I found it at www.gogreenthebook.com, so I'm trying to tell everyone about it. Her husband's book really changed my life.

I'll be checking your blog again. Thanks so much!
