Did I Say It's Hot!

This heat wave just won't go away. I'm filling up the dog's pools with water twice a day. By noon the water is hot. Now, anyone who knows me knows I like heat. This is too much heat! Wierd weather too. Three days ago, on a very hot day, the sky was completely overcast with unusual, dark clouds. It looked exactly like the scene in "War of the Worlds" when the alien ships first appear. Pretty creepy. It made me think about Global Warming.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

STOP...

Turn off our T.V.s and computers and Ipods and Blueberries for a week, bypass Starbucks, get off the media merry-go-round, de-program.

BE QUIET...

Look beyond indoctrination, bias and prejudice.

MEDITATE AND PRAY...

Surrender our fears to God.

THEN...

Take a hike into an old growth forest. Sit silently on a cushion of soft pine mulch, among delicate ferns, and watch the little animals and incredible variety of bugs emerge. Breath the smell of pine and wildflowers and age in deeply. Let the ribbons of dusty light fingering through a rich, dark greendappled canopy heal your tired eyes. Let the sound of Living silence heal your weary ears. Feel the Spirit's gentle breath against your cheek. And worship God by appreciating the beauty he has created for your healing and your delight.
