Gem of the Week

Got this in an e-mail from my friend Danielle:

I was at a potluck last night, and a friend was recommending churches in the area to another friends who's thinking of going back to church after a hiatus. She was describing one church and talking about how they gave out low-energy light bulbs for earth day. The other friend said he didn't like churches that get involved in politics like that. She responded with, "What's political about caring about the earth and wanting to keep it healthy? Isn't that what we're called to do?"

Perfect point she made. I think sometimes in this highly politically charged society it's really easy to assume everything has a political motive, when really sometimes it's JUST A LIGHTBULB.

Just a lightbulb, indeed.
