Earth Day is celebrated around the world on April 22 every year to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it now includes events coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.
It’s always important to take care of creation and all the things that make it our home planet. Our environment is what keeps us alive. Everyone can do their part to make Earth a much better place to live.
Scared people make mistakes.

Yeah, this is me sometimes. Sleep vs. brain is a real struggle.
Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.

I’m tired of death and destruction.
This is going to be one of those posts that is more of a reflection and recollection of very recent history.
A lot has happened in the first few months of 2020. Coronavirus has been with us for awhile. Last Sunday was Easter and tornadoes hit my city of Chattanooga, Tennessee with a natural fury. Weeks earlier it hit the cities of Nashville and Cookeville, Tennessee. It seems that would be plenty of stuff for a year let alone just four months or so.
There has been a lot of death and destruction this year. What is happening before our eyes is troubling and sad. In the midst of keeping people safe people are getting restless. People who lost everything are trying to figure out what to do next. For everyone this has been a time of taking in a lot of chaos and not having a lot of control over the circumstances.
The only thing about defeating chaos is to come together in community. Cooperating and collaborating. Being less individualistic and being more of a team player. Whether it be sheltering at home or cleaning up the remains from a storm its about being defiant in your love for those who share this life and space with you.
Now is a time to realize that chaos is always with us but we have a choice to react to it and meet it head on. There is not a easy solution and it will take time to make it through. No matter what you have to answer the call and see what your response to it will be.
