>> In fact my dad owns a tee-shirt he would never wear in public that says “Pave the Planet.” (You know that's satirical, right?)

My web-buddy at Probe keeps reminding me that the prevailing rule behind web stuff is that readers unconsciously demand, "Don't make me think."

So I appreciate your parenthetical insert!

On the other hand, thanks for inviting us to think about living green to the glory of God! My husband Ray, who was selling balloons for SECS (Students For Environmental Concerns, but say the acronym out loud anyway) the first time I saw him on campus, couldn't agree more. He loves to address Christian Environmentalism [ http://www.probe.org/faith-and-science/environment/christian-environmentalism.html ], whether it's before an audience or testifying before a Texas state committee or even at an ExxonMobil shareholders meeting! (My man gets around. . .) 

Bless you, Sandi!
