Going Green

I think that the new craze in America is "Go Green." This trend I do not mind. I think since coming to school as a freshman, I have become concerned with bigger issues. This may seem scary to some at times when I get involved in passionate discussion about one of those issues. What I'm trying to figure out now, is how to actually act on those passionate ideas.

For instance, my parents and I had a long discussion about missions on the way home from GA. I started to get a little excited with the ideas I have about missions, and my hopes for my future in missions. But this week, I have become aware that I might talk a whole lot about some things, but what have I really done to get something accomplished? I guess going to nursing school is one thing, getting me ready for a career in helping people. I just get disappointed at times when I hear about all kinds of missions trips and opportunities, yet I seem to find an excuse not to go. No time, too much money, too complicated... I know I have passions for a reason, just wondering what to act on.

So this "Go Green" idea for America is great. How can we tangibly do something to preserve the precious land and resources we've been so generously given from our Creator? Hmmm... Recycle? Turn our lights off? Buy a Hybrid? Don't use aerosol sprays? Eat organically?

It can be hard remember to think about all these ideas floating around up there.
