Thanks for the tag, Jordana- not! I LOOVVEEDD reading yours- learned some new things, was positively surprised by some things, and was encouraged by some things... but my brain is just so fried. I don't know if I can even count to 8, let alone some up with 8 answers in those categories. Thank you for doing it though- it was great to read :)
Kitty, I have to say, I thought the same thing. It took me several weeks, of thinking about it every few days. I seriously thought I had nothing to write. But then I thought, I NEED to write this. My life has been so upside down, I forgot what I enjoyed, what I looked forward to and who I was. So, with that said. I do understand not being able to come up with 8 things. It would be fun to know any thoughts on those, even if it was just one sentence!!
Cause as you enjoyed mine - I would surely enjoy yours! :-)
Hi, my name is Dustin and I work with Christians in Conservation: A Rocha USA. I noticed that you mentioned the book "Serve God, Save the Planet" in your post, and I thought that you might like to know that sponsors its author, Dr. Matthew Sleeth, as a "creation care evangelist." We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa. You might also be interested in the website for Dr. Sleeth's book, www.servegodsavetheplanet.org.
