the lone cup

Yes, this is a lone cup, sitting lonely and alone outside of your church gym.  Someone abandoned it right here in our parking lot.

I have to tell you that I am seriously annoyed by people that litter.  Driving down the road and someone throws something out of the window.  Yikes.  I don't understand it.  Please don't throw your clippings on someone else's property.  Please don't throw your branches there.  Please don't throw things out of the window of your car, even on Phelps road.

It doesn't take anymore effort to throw something in the trash than it does to throw it on the ground.  Why not use your energy to make the world a better place?

Pick up your trash where ever it is. [there is a metaphor in that statement.]  Leave behind only that which makes the day and all of life, a better place.

It's a beautiful trash free day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Amen!! This is a personal choice, but I have chosen not to participate in efforts to go along the highways and pick up someone else's trash. There are enough babied, irresponsible people in our country, who've never had to deal with the consequences of attitudes like "oh just throw your trash out the window."

When my husband and I were traveling through Texas a number of years ago, Texas highways looked clean, because there were stiff penalties for littering the highways. I know that is tough to enforce, but it looked like even the presence of a sign with fines listed had helped.

One of the worst things I've seen is when parents change a babies diaper and lay the diaper on the pavement. Disgusting.

Thanks for letting us vent on this subject.
