global cooling is part of global warming

have you heard the latest? the globe is cooling, not warming. the global warmers as expected are claiming the cooling as part of the warming. i would like to clue them in - of course it is all part of the same system. it is called geology, and we generally see changes manifested as weather.

it is a mystery to us, but not to god, and it is all part of his plan. of course, we need to be careful & thoughtful stewards of the earth that god gave us. he says right there in the bible that he gave us the earth to care for. it's like you give a child a toy or a book -- you do not give it to that kid just so the kid can break it.

god did not give us the earth in order for us to tear it up. he expects us to be conservative with it. but, he also expects us to use it. even if you take really good care of something, it will get worn out.

and, we have not taken particularly good care of the earth -- we have not put it in the garage or had the oil changed regularly... we have been careless, so now, there are some parts of it that cannot be fixed [thinking about places that have been strip mined, nuclear damage, etc.], but there are many parts that are still in good shape or can be fixed.

the bottom line is that it is going to wear out, like a favorite shirt that you wear every day. you can wash it, and mend it, and press it, but no matter what you do - it will still wear out.

be careful, yes. but, accept reality, too.
