THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - SEASON OF CREATION You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill cant be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 5:14-15, The Common English Bible DID YOU KNOW - replacing a single incandescent bulb with a compact florescent lightbulb keeps a half-ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb? DID YOU KNOW - if everyone in the United States used energy-efficient lighting, we could retire 90 average-size power plants? Saving electricity reduces CO2 emissions, sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste. CONSIDER THIS - Watch how you use lights in your house. Turn off lights when you are not in rooms or at home. Look for ways to do a full retrofit of the lighting in your home, business, or congregation. Long-term, it saves money on energy; but it saves energy, thus the environment. PRAY - Lord of Light, you have called us to be light for the world. Help us to be light for the created world, too, to use light and energy responsibly and to use our resources carefully and wisely. Amen.
