Go Light!

I have a confession to make.  I flush the toilet every time I use it.   Yep that’s right, every single time.  To be sure there are moments when I think about saving the planet and letting my yellow mellow until the next go round, but then my sanity returns, and I jettison that nasty stuff right out. 

I don’t recycle.  I don’t have a mulch bin.  My car runs on straight up gasoline.  I drive everywhere I go, even to the gym, so I can walk on an electric treadmill.  I run my air-conditioning until it snows indoors. I get all my bills delivered as paper copies.  I think organic, pesticide-free food tastes funny.  I love me some animal flesh.  And I wear a size-fifteen shoe that leaves one big, ole carbon footprint. 

I did donate $10 to Wind Powering America once, so don’t judge me.

Honestly though, I have a hard time getting behind the green movement.  As a Christian, I definitely believe that God created us to tend and care for the planet, but He also created us to tend and care for one another: an issue that takes priority over the planet.  Jesus didn’t come to Earth to save the planet; He came to save the people on it.  In fact, God’s big plan for the planet according to 2 Peter 3 is to incinerate it and start over.

The point of this site is really two-fold: to poke fun at the green movement but more importantly to invite the reader to join the movement of light and follow Christ.  Put others above yourself.  Spend your time, money, and energy affecting people’s eternity instead of worrying about this temporal planet. 

Forget Going Green!  Go Light!

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.  Matthew 5:14
