Go Brown . . . Wait What?

This is year we’re having a huge drought in America’s Southwest.  Everything is as brown as . . . well dirt, as far as the eye can see.  It’s been dubbed the worst drought we’ve had in years, and some are afraid it’s going to be ongoing.

But don’t worry the Green Movement has a solution:  Desert Landscaping!

Rather than fret about how every living thing for miles is dying for lack of water, let’s find some creative ways to beautify/green our lawns.  If we make them look like beautiful deserts, then we’ll feel better about all the water we’re saving by not watering our lawns, and as a plus, we won’t feel so bad about importing water to fill the pool outback.  It’s a win/win situation.

Seriously though, there’s not much we can do about a drought.  That’s God’s domain not ours, but I don’t think reveling in our Green creativity is going to help much.  The Bible says, “The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.  Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.” (James 5:16-18)

I invite you to earnestly pray for rain for the parts of our nation that our running low on water, and even more importantly to pray for those so desperately in need of the Living Water of Jesus Christ.
