The growing oil slick & the devastating consequences have preoccupied my mind this weekend.
While we in Winchester celebrate God’s glorious creation at Apple Blossom festivities, the Gulf Coast braces for another disaster – this time not from above, but from below.
Humankind has again damaged God’s good earth. I’m no tree-hugger but my heart sinks as the oil continues to rise.
Join me in prayer this weekend for a quick solution to the crisis in the Gulf, for the fisherman and families who’ll be affected economically, and for the wildlife that will surely die before we gather again in worship.
In Genesis, we learn that God created all things, and called this creation good. God gave us dominion over creation – which includes the awesome responsibility of taking care of this earth.
I pray that people at fault (international corporations) will be held accountable, that people who are able will rush to help, and that all of us will take more care & responsibility with the earth under our own feet.
May God bless you & yours today!
