Can we start a Heaven Day? Earth Day has been so tainted that, even though I truly am a love-plants-and-animals kind of person, the day sets me on edge.
One of the people who started it was a serial killer from my city. It's also right around Hitler's birthday, so the excuse given for such atrocities as Columbine, the Oklahoma Bombing, and the Virginia Tech massacre. Somewhere between Columbine and VT, I have caught that tension I used to have right after RFK and MLK were murdered so closely together -- something like waiting for the next shoe to drop.
I really do understand God gave us this beautiful wonderful planet with so much to experience no one will ever experience it all, but then sin, and thus another shoe's going to drop. So, how about Happy Heaven Day where God is still on his throne, we still get to enjoy the lilac bush (you hug trees, but I don't have enough yard for a tree, so I hug two bushes, and the forsythia already bloomed lol), and he's even in control of shoes dropping?
No greeting cards needed. lol)
