Japan is working to fight off two or more meltdowns at their nuclear facilities. I have always been a supporter of safe nuclear energy, but this has to make a person wonder. What does it mean? What will happen if the meltdowns cannot be stopped? How many square miles will be uninhabitable? What is the long term effect on the atmosphere? the fish?
And I wonder about just how many people this world can really support. And to what level of lifestyle can this world support? How many more tragedies can we afford to fix before entire people groups are left to live in tents for the rest of their lives?
We have increased our numbers so much, and our lifestyles are so comfortable, we forget that just 100 years ago, most humans still made their living off of the land.
And God is in the heavens. And he looks down at the plans of men and women. And He is greater than it all. We humans fall away in the presence of God. We have no answers, we have nothing figured out, except that we all need to put our trust in God and realize that everything waits upon him for breath, for life, for sustenance. And we need one another - lets not forget that.
God we look to you this day, and so because we can see you, it is a beautiful day in your world.

Oh to live in a simple world again, and in an unspoiled environment. Thanks for the reminder that we must decrease (in trying to figure this all out) so that God can increase. The next time you get to go deep into the forest, for a reading sabatical, send us more photos, to remind us that there are some parts of the world left, as God created them.
