G.E.D. Living, part 3

Someone, and I’m embarrassed to admit I’m not sure who it was, sent me a list of simple, practical things to do.

With gratitude to that anonymous source, here’s a series of somethings you and I can do to practice what I’m calling God’s Earth Day (G.E.D.) Living —

1. Let the sun shine in. Open the curtains, raise the blinds, and spend time in rooms that get natural light.
2. Turn off lights you’re not using. Leave a room, hit the switch! Don’t forget outdoor lights.

3. Control the temperature. Adjust your heat, water heater, or air conditioner even a few degrees to lower your bills. Better yet? Use a programmable thermostat.

— For the record, please note the total absence here on my part of any reference to a traditional understanding of a place of eternal punishment and its inherent heat.

This is, clearly, about the world we live in and which God has entrusted to us. See Psalm 8 for details. God really does trust us!
