This reflection on “the poor you will have with you always” initiated a similar illumination for me regarding the “other issues” which are central to our mission , but call upon us to recognize a very important matter to “Salvation”, which is the Restoration of Creation as central to our being able to respond to any “issues”. We need our Continue Reading
I shared this post from Shane yesterday, but another area where “Christians” need converting is to the notion that Christians are called to be participants in “keeping” Creation (and the word “to keep” there is the same as the one used in one of the very next Genesis stories: “Am I my brother’s keeper”). Late 20th and early 21st century Continue Reading

A “checkered past” and continued denial in the present Much like the uproar about CRT, is the pushback on the idea that humans have ushered in the Anthropocene. The systemic buildup of CO2 in our atmosphere, coupled with the accompanying extractive and disruptive technologies that have damaged soil, coral reefs, and wetlands, and clear cut for pastures to feed our Continue Reading

“We need to help each other. Consumer-based approaches and “simple things” lists tend to reinforce our sense that the only sphere in which we can act is our own little private lives, and that isolates us. But the isolation we all sometimes feel in the face of the magnitude of the problems is itself a major part of the problem. Continue Reading
“We don’t need lite green fashions. We need a bright green revolution. To really change the world we need to hand out real tools: rugged, free, collaborative tools for understanding the world and our role in it, for seeing the systems in which we are trapped; tools for learning how to work together to either transform those systems or destroy Continue Reading
“Realities” that are both “real”….. The “content” of our character: the stuff that , in FTF, we don’t “wear on our sleeve” by habit or in a native/ default form. And we keep it behind a socail barrier that is all too often rare, and most tragically, in FTF church. I have found that people find out more about me Continue Reading
From Brad Davis on the blog at Accidental Tomatoes: Later this week I’ll make the approximately thirty-mile drive south to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with my family. Once there we’ll do what we always do: gather around the dinner table to partake in a royal feast, watch football (in between the dozing off stemming from gastrological overdose), and tell stories Continue Reading
My Volt hasn’t shown ANY signs of losing it’s longevity or charging retention. And what I would also say to those who say “No to EVs because the batteries are too undependable and require too much environmentally questionable practices”, is that those are drawbacks and lessen the ecological improvement of EVs over the internal combustion engine, but we have put Continue Reading
“both religions seek to undermine America, her economy, Constitution, and way of life, taking liberty and freedom away from Americans, replaced with a top-down command and control government dictating our every behavior. Globalism is the goal, a great reset, or a one-world government, controlled by the self-appointed elites who rule over the masses. This is hardly the message taught by Continue Reading
All of the comedic Facebook jokes happening, and as I watch the above, and laugh (cuz Colbert is funny)….I also cringe a little when I see how some of the “blame” for the sociopathic “enflaming” going on is a matter of “the world” expressing itself “writ large” by the microscope and archiving of this human garbage spewing. Do we take Continue Reading
Found this gem in a Kindle sample of a book I had not noticed enough to look into what it may offer: It would take more than five earths for everyone on the planet to consume as much as the average person in the USA.1 But is the average privileged consumer even finding an abundance of joy, love, peace, and Continue Reading
Addendum to my previous post about my seeking a “next interim step”: a place to hang my hat and/or “lay my head” as I continue the much elongated interim journey to my “low-to-no-carbon-footprint” lifestyle. the 15 months (the last of which is this one, March 2021) . I have been an “1801 resident” have been a much needed “cushion” for Continue Reading
My good friend Larry Bourgeois created a Facebook “ask for recommendations” page a couple days ago, and I posted this under it a few minutes ago: Thank you Larry, for this initiative in “sounding the call” to fill this “niche” in my ongoing journey’s transitional time. I will make one small correction/clarification: it wouldn’t need to be more than 1 Continue Reading
