Going Green.

Yes, that's right I am going green. It is not as easy as you may think. It takes a lot of hard work. I have read a book and am taking baby steps in the right direction. I have started with changing a light bulb. Yes, just one bulb. They are expensive and if I can just do one a every two weeks then it won't break the bank all at one time. Paper instead of plastic is harder to carry out, but in my effort to make things convenient for me, I have realized there are things I can suffer through. No more Plastic bottles of water, if I can fill up my bottle instead. Little things.
You can not live in these mountains, surrounded by God's beauty and not begin to be concerned about how we treat it. God gave it to us to care for. So I am going to do my part.

Also.... I am going healthy. I know this is the biggest shocker of all. And I am taking baby steps here, but I am going to try. I went to the store and bought organic. It is a little more costly, but I stuck to the if it is less than .50 cents more than the other, go for it. I am going to try and give up sugar. Pray for me. Another great book. The Seven Pillars of Health by Dr. Colbert has prompted this change. He is a Christian. And I am only on the 3rd pillar but so far am feeling pretty good.

Jackie is in Chicago this week with her youth. They are ministering to the inner city children. Please pray for their safety and the hearts of the people they will encounter to be changed in a mighty way by God.
