Does thee think it's worth a try in any case, Alice?

The Lord has brought me around on many aspects of daily living, and continues to guide and change me.

I wonder sometimes if, from this point, we can humble ourselves and live as if the Lord is our portion, and thus avoid worse disaster. I haven't been given to know for sure.

But to be faithful in spite of the days it looks like all is lost, is what I seem to be learning these days.

You absolutely speak to my condition, Alice.

Yes, I know I've been called to live more simply, to stop grasping at sources of security other than God, to listen closely to God and be open to my neighbors, to work to provide necessities of life in a way that is not destructive. As for what will happen next... Some of my friends are confident that if enough of us take the right actions right now we can avert catastrophic global warming and ther disasters; others believe that God will intervene and bring the new creation; I don't know what will happen. But I know what kind os present living roots me in Life.

And, Alice--I'd be curious to hear more about the practical details of how you're moving into this way of living, if you're willing to share.

Thanks Raye, Heather, and Joanna.

Joanna - thanks for asking. I'm not feeling like I can write much in detail about my current challenges. I hope I might do so when I am clearer about it all.
