Lenten Reflection: Feb. 25

Almighty God, in giving us dominion over things on earth, you made us fellow workers in your creation: Give us wisdom and reverence so to use the resources of nature, that no one may suffer from our abuse of them, and that generations yet to come may continue to praise you for your bounty; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
--For the Conservation of Natural Resources,
The Book of Common Prayer

My reflection: Last October, JB and I had the opportunity to attend The Crossroads project at USU. Their "performance" was a compilation of scientific research being shared along side/and in collaboration with a string quartet, some modern dancing, oil paintings and photographs. The experience was was a bit hippy talk, a bit artsy fartsy, but still extremely interesting, informative, and really quite moving. The discussion was about the human race, and how we are slowly but surely destroying our natural resources, and soon will die out as a species because we will not be able to sustain ourselves.  Not at all the stewards of God's creation, as we were intended to be.
