James 24:7

I've tried to write this little post about 3 times and everytime I do something to mess it up and not get it posted.  So, I'm going to make this short and sweet.

1. I went to see Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.

2.  I thought it was compelling, thought-provoking and well worth my time.

3. I highly recommend it to you.

4. While Al gets a wee bit political (and I do mean a wee bit), he approaches it from a moral perspective.

5. I do think the phrase "global warming" is misplaced.  When you get down to it the real concern is not that the globe is heating up but that we are heating up with it. 

6.  I would not drop a crab into a stew pot let alone put my beautiful granddaughter into a heating pot. So why would I just sit idly by doing nothing (and certainly contributing to the problem by my ignorance, laziness, unwillingness to change, etc.) while my granddaughter heated up in a pot to which you and I are adding more and more firewood?

7.  The science seems strong in the film but I'm no scientist.  Many of the science types I've read only quibble a bit with big Al...but not much.

8.  This is an issue all Christians can warm up to. Ha!  You might expect lefties to be on board but recently a group of evangelical leaders, including the conservative and purpose driven Rick Warren, have signed on to fight global warming.

9.  Most movie reviewers are giving An Inconvenient Truth a big thumbs up.  (Go to rottentomatoes.com)

10.  Even if the film turned out to be An Inconvenient Half-Truth, we would still be morally obligated to improve the way we relate to God's good creation.

11.  There's a lot we can all do without relying on Big Sam (our uncle) to fix it for us. 

And that's me thoughts on that.  I recommend the movie highly.  See it on one of these hot summer days!

Don't know how it is where you are but here in Hotlanta we hear all the time that the atmospheric conditions (i.e. the smog) are such that wee children, wee elders and folks with compromised respiratory systems should play indoors.  And we just go on like nothing's weird about that....

Frogs in pots all...aren't we?
