Don’t forget “Emergent E-zine”
“We go fair-trade all the way (EcoMoms rule!) though we admit that our countless conferences do leave quite the carbon footprint. Our bad.”
How about this approach to a fuel and energy cirsis:
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Now, questions to have some conferences about:
.did that only apply at that time to the church at Phillipi?
.or does it apply to us here in modern life?
.what exactly are “needs”?
.do we know difference between a “need” and a “desire”?
.is this for spiritual needs only?
.is this including material needs?
.how does “The Lord is my sheperd, I shall not want.” apply here?
.what “wants” will The Lord provide for?
.is the world’s cureent level of energy consumption a “need” or a “want”?
.is the western society’s cureent level of energy consumption a “need” or a “want”?
.anyone’s head hurting yet?
Thanks!
Now, probably getting time to be careful about that old “Pride goeth before a fall” thing, eh?
Can’t be falling and getting hurt – gotta be in good shape to get Kathy to surgery Friday. And back home Monday.
reminds me of the time when one of the church leaders (a keen cyclist) were doing the announcements one sunday morning, and said, “it’s such a nice day, pity there aren’t more bicycles in the car park today”. which was met with an uncomfortable silence.
Genius.

yep, thats nailed it ‘foggy thinking and running on fear’
I should feel smug for walking to work and cycling to the shops, the thing is though – I’m praying for a car

Yeah but when you get it you’ll still be using it responsibly. That’s the main thing.
