I'm quite used to it in fact.<br />What I find difficult is putting my views across in an effective way. If the discussion becomes heated and turns into an argument then that does no one any good. And I suppose in the case of fellow christians I assume that anyone who claims to love God, automatically takes on board the responsibility for loving his wonderful creation as well and live their lives accordingly. As we know, this is a false assumption. <br />The bottom line is that if we care what is going on then we must say goodbye to our previously comfortable way of life. This is a sacrifice few people are prepared to make.<br />Thank God for places like this website where views can be shared and encouragement givenStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528862706641857167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741946524740642424.post-10675826169616994032012-03-30T11:36:03.500-07:002012-03-30T11:36:03.500-07:00Peter, the concerns you have keep me awake at nigh...Peter, the concerns you have keep me awake at night too. I am trying to live a smaller life using less of everything and being more aware. I have a long way to go, of course, but the ignorance of so many who aren't even trying to make small differences in their life, frustrates me. It's always lovely to read your informative posts and be reminded of what I am striving for with my own little family. And hopefully I will be learning a little more about self sufficiency on my adventure in the mountains of Italy!!!!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617109153936000235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741946524740642424.post-89869969901276042222012-03-29T07:51:31.614-07:002012-03-29T07:51:31.614-07:00Thank you Deborah,

Yeah... right...Rev.

I fear, in my darker moments, that it will take the UK turning into the Sahel...<br />My own personal problem - and I know that I'm not alone - is that I really don't like people looking at me as if I'm mad! I must be braver, and tell it how it is.<br />Keep up the good work, people! And thank you for this great blog.<br />DeborahDeborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741946524740642424.post-5189796570947301432012-03-25T10:17:28.214-07:002012-03-25T10:17:28.214-07:00It does seem strange Stella that many that say the...It does seem strange Stella that many that say they are concerned about the present water problems don't actually make the connection between what they say they are concerned about and just how their own actions contribute to that situation.<br /><br />Your father sounds great!Rev.

They are a three car family and each weekend, without fail, all three cars are washed (using a hosepipe). In addition, this friend, washes her towels every single day. And yet, she will express genuine concern about the drought, but when I point out her profligate use of water, she looks at me as if I'm mad. <br />If only folk would realise what a precious resource water is.<br />I feel I am a voice crying in the wilderness.<br />My dear father died 10 years ago. I well remember his concerns for the environment, which first troubled him 40-50 years ago. Everything that he worried about seems to have come to pass. I really miss him and would love to be able to discuss these things with him now that I also share his views.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528862706641857167noreply@blogger.com
