I am preparing for a presentation on the environment for the Nelson Regional Day this weekend and was hit by this quote by Eric Jackson from Carey Park Christian Camp...

There is no indication in scripture that all flora and fauna are to be sacrificed on the altar of human affluence and pleasure. Therefore responsible development requires a clear understanding of its impact on all the living things.

Maybe the best way to explain some of the lessons I have learnt is simply by sharing experiences I have had.  One of the biggest and most impacting storm I had to face was 2 1/2 years ago when my cousin died in a river gorging accident.  A group of students from his school entered the river with an instructor, and at the same time a first storm of summer hit the dry area.  This caused flooding beyond what was normally expected, the group got into trouble and 7 of them drowned... one being my cousin.

Ephesians 3 v 20

God can do anything you know - far more than you can ever imagine , or guess or request in your wildest dreams - he does it not by pushing us around, but by working within us, by his spirit ,deeply and gently within us. this blows my mind......

What an awesome God we have..... and his spirit lives within us....
