A certain "movement" within my denomination has this hard core group seemingly always lost in the blogosphere. While they get really concerned about "purity", their churches shrink to almost nothing. It's sad. I've got way too much going on outside the electrons to make this my life. But it's a fun outlet every so often!C.

And honestly, I get tired of the people who think if you enjoy nature or care about the environment you must be tied-dyed hippie.

For me it's a Romans 8 thing: I see the glories left over from Eden & promised in heaven plus concrete reminders of the effects of sin in "nature's groaning." (When I was getting my formal education, tying nature together too much with the faith was frowned on--like you were just going to get into a "theology of glory" & ignore the theology of the cross or that you were going to end up Thoreau-like, looking at the world through rose-colored nature glasses & not grappling seriously with evil & etc. Well, "phooey" on that, to use a non-scholarly phrase!!!)C.
