My answer was to stand on the corner of a busy intersection and, when people stop when the light is red and dump out their ashtrays, to pick up the cigarette butts and throw them back in the car with them.<BR/><BR/>I know you're not looking for kudos, but I offer kudos nevertheless. If we could learn to take care of the small things, I think taking care of bigger issues would be much easier to tackle.jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03597977103977994044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777750410141759635.post-47863268237610957782008-02-11T18:24:00.000-05:002008-02-11T18:24:00.000-05:002008-02-11T18:24:00.000-05:00Yep, hurrah for you. It's so much better to pick up a piece of paper on the ground than it is to walk on by it and curse or else think some other bad comment about it being there. If you just pick it up, it won't continue to bother you, like it will every time you pass it by without picking it up.<BR/><BR/>I learned this while walking on my street.stardusterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09617338701626625177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777750410141759635.post-22223972378732707162008-02-11T17:59:00.000-05:002008-02-11T17:59:00.000-05:002008-02-11T17:59:00.000-05:00It was an interesting image of two people on the same mission. One seemed angry that the task was necessary; the other decided to be joyful. Now there's a parable! Too many Christians seem to approach our common mission as if they are being forced to clean up something disgusting. Now, there's a sermon waiting to be preached!mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777750410141759635.post-3252786303869673492008-02-11T13:08:00.000-05:002008-02-11T13:08:00.000-05:002008-02-11T13:08:00.000-05:00Hurrah to you for this.
