This morning there's thunder and lightning with rain crossing the Kansas Prairie. Inside this rock house the sound of thunder echoes in a rumbling kind of way. I'm sipping on hot coffee with half & half in my cup to sweeten up the taste abit.
Because of the storm, I turned CBS television on to check out what this storm is predicted to do and in which direction it's going. Since it's EARTH DAY I was educated about food and clothing that are very GREEN. It just seems like this generation of thinkers are reversing to what originally was very common a hundred years ago before the polyester generation took hold of the 1960s households where petroleum products graced our homes and bodies. This green generation have signs of saving the planet.
NOW DAYS Cotton...not just any cotton, but emphasis is on ORGANIC being attached to clarify that it's very green to be wearing awesome cotton.
Food without the perservatives and chemicals is known to be healthier for people and animals.
The angle I see coming about with the GREEN MOVEMENT is that it easily becomes a RELIGION sort of speak. We have those who worship the Earth, not God. Please don't get me wrong...I believe we are to be good stewards of what God has provided, but I am discerning the false god in all of this. We were created to worship GOD. We were not created to worship the earth...the earth was created for us, not the other way around with us created for the earth.
The big push for going green will eventually suggest the MIND SET that there isn't enough natural resources for ALL of the human beings on the planet, thus we must as good people do away with so many people and down size to X amount of people on the planet so the planet will be self substaining. Heard of this? I don't have numbers handy concerning how many people will be permitted to live on planet earth...it's published and perhaps I ought to post that. I have the feeling that there's going to come a day that if you aren't fitting the mold of a worshipper of the earth...the earth worshippers will look down their noses at you because you aren't a so called good person....then there will be a stiff fine for putting out too much carbon.
For now...know this...if God created us...and HE has...then HE will not tell people to go and multiply and then say...that's enough...no more...stop...stop...stop...the earth will only substain X amount of people...changed my mind here...stop making babies and start killing your elderly...these people over here have less value than these people over there.
I'll have to go back through my notes and get the information posted that says how many people a certain group of people are saying the earth can house...off the top of my head I can't recall.
How's that for a RANT all because it is storming outside.

P.S. BE comforted by God's Holy Word...
Psalm 100:3 says
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11)For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12)Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will harken unto ye.
13)And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Revelation 4:11
Thou art worthy, O LORD, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

I think I will marry a fine Godly balanced Boaz and have many many happy carbon producing children because they are a heritage from the Lord :O) I'm so not a tree hugger! It would get my clothes dirty ;O)
All things in moderation :) I do think we are required to be good stewards of our gifts. Thanks for stopping by--My cold is better today!
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
Not only did he tell man to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth (we are no where near filling the earth, lots of places where there are no people), but he also said to SUBDUE it. Def's. 1) Conquer and bring it under subjection. 2) bring the land under cultivation.
Then he also said to take DOMINION over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. Def. Sovereign authority.
I think with those statements comes great responsibility, but it confirms that the earth and everything there in was created for and given to man, and not the other way around. And we are specifically instructed NOT to worship the creation, but rather to worship the creator.
