Stone Mansions

We think that we are so successful, that our generation has progressed mankind yet over 2500 years ago the upwardly mobile were building their over-sized stone houses. What has really changed?

What are the really important things in life? I was listening to the BBC this morning. They had a interview with a man from Halfords- the chain of shops which sells accessories for cars- roof-racks, spare windscreen wipers, wash-cloths, you name it for cars but also bikes. He was saying how much their automotive sales have fallen recently and how much their bike sales have risen, partly due to a movement to respect the world that God has given us. Stone houses and all that goes into them are not environmentally friendly and that begins with the moment the first stone is hewn from the mountain where it was 'grown'.

Looking after God's world is only a small part of the good that we can do but it is a start. Just as not cutting the first stone it is a step towards in an attitude that takes God into account in all that we do.
