Excerpt from ‘Random Thoughts from the First Decade of the New Millenium’, Part 4 (as seen in Rethink Monthly)
Environmentalism:
One thing became apparent quickly in the new Millennium; Green was the new Black.
Now saving the environment, once reserved for liberal hemp-wearing hippies in towns like Eugene and Berkley, was hip!
Words like ‘Carbon Footprint’, ‘Global Warming’, Eco-Friendly’, ‘Clean-Energy’, ‘Bio Diesel’, and ‘Hybrid Car’ became as common as reruns of the Fresh Prince of Bell Air on Nick at Nite. And Al Gore, who once was seen as the boring robotic Vice President for Bill Clinton, was now the global superstar for environmentalism.
In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
