Spring Flowers on a Saturday Afternoon

I should've know better

Yesterday's supposed SBC declaration was by a seminary student and while, signed by a handful of Big Dogs, is not endorsed by the Southern Baptist Convention. Here's a really, really long article from the SBC website:

and here's the stance they took (and stand by still) in June 2007

On a positive note, while last year's stance is not quite as environmentally promising as I personally might like, it does contain the following resolution:

RESOLVED, That we continually reaffirm our God-given responsibility to care for the earth by remaining environmentally conscious and taking individual and collective efforts to reduce pollution, decrease waste, and improve the environment in tangible and effective ways.

A Green-Letter Day

Both the Vatican and the Southern Baptist Convention are now admitting an awareness that Earth matters!
This New York Times article details the Southern Baptists' about face from a previous stance that was somewhat indifferent on environmental issues
and this
Yahoo!Green article details the Vatican's update on sinful practices (environmental treachery now qualifies, it seems!).
WooHoo!
It's a real "Green-Letter Day" for all us tried-and-true "environmental wackos!"

Three Cats Napping

My two 13-year-old cats' current favorite napping place is a barstool in my kitchen.
The other day, much to my surprise, I found them curled up along with the wooden doorstop cat that usually stands guard in my living room.
My sweet little old rascally boy (not yet two years old) thought it made perfect sense, I guess, for doorstop kitty to cuddle up with Max & Janie.
