Heather and I have bee listening to the latest podcast of the Fermi Project (which I recommend subscribing to), featuring Matthew Sleeth who wrote the book Serve God, Save the Planet. One of the anecdotes that struck us was the concept of "saying grace for gas". As Christians, we have no problem saying grace (as we should) for our food. We appreciate and value this resource. However, do we have the same mindset regarding other resources God has given us to steward? The interviewer commented that his kids now remind him to say a prayer of thanksgiving after they fill up the family car with gas. Interesting.
This whole idea of environmental stewardship is something I need to learn more about. Peace.
