Jesus is the ultimate "green" Savior!

Well, yesterday LFM went as a vendor to the Green Fair...plenty of both sides of the ticket there I was glad to say....

raised as a Democrat and having grown into a conservative...I have to say I would be a liberal conservative on many issues...a small degree to which is the environment.

First let me say I am a believer in DOMINION. That means that I am not the crazy tree-hugger that wouldn't wear fur and opposes drilling in Alaska. No, I love hamburgers and if testing a few animals can one day prevent cancer then I can't really oppose it even if I don't want to see it.

But NO, I do not believe in the torture of slaughtering houses or corralling of baby sheep for the tenderest lamb or inhumane ANYTHING.

I believe Global warming DOES exist...no, it is not God just hugging us a little bit closer, lol and we should protect our planet and it's resources since it is the next best gift we've been given next to Jesus/Salvation.

ANYhoo, so we were at this green fair and of course the OM Bookstore is there. Now, look. I am not judging but this one is hard. They are pedaling satan no matter how you slice it. Extreme? Well, scripture says if you are not FOR God then you are AGAINST Him, so you figure it out.

The OM Bookstore is a new age store. It gathered a lot of interest. People milling about their booth filled with runes, tarot cards, incense, crystals and all things mystical.

And it got me thinking.

As I sat there in all of our "Lake Family Magazine" glory....getting a few looks by the way. (I failed to realize that my sometimes obvious slant in the magazine would be construed by liberals to be anti-everything they are for and CERTAINLY NOT "green") I couldn't help but realize that they were looking for something I already had.

Here they were...loving God's creation in the utmost...but MISSING the truest, most natural part of it all. The ACTUAL artist...the ACTUAL creator.....the REAL DEAL.
They needed crystals, candles, tarot, runes, STUFF to "feel" like they were getting something. Notice how they have to keep coming up with more "stuff"? Because the hole they are looking to fill...the thirst they cannot quench...can never be filled or satisfied with those things.

I was expressing this to Jeff while we were there and he said, Yep, it is like Jesus is such an "easy" answer, that it can't possibly be it.

But it is true. Sometimes I hope we DO get the boot from public school...wouldn't it be cool to be able to print an article like THIS????

Jesus was "Green" before it was cool!

The all-natural savior. No fuss, no muss. Didn't need a crystal or even a cross hanging AROUND his neck...he only needed one to hang ON. Wow. That's heavy.

SACRIFICE is not something new age teaches. It teaches SELF fulfillment...that the power is WITHIN YOU....that if it feels good, DO it.

But Jesus, the one and only savior..was the ultimate "green" guy. Lover of people, children, the earth, minimalism, sacrifice, prevention, love and peace.

The Green Fair was Good...but the Green God? Well, he rocks the greenhouse in my book.

So put that in your hemp pipe and smoke it!
