Those in the Cincinnati region and various other geographies have been affected by climate recently – air conditions from Canadian wildfires causing masking and staying inside; severe lack of rain browning our earth; etc.. It’s yet another reminder of what some of us learned from margarine commercials many years back: “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!” (click HERE for an example commercial)

We are learning more all the time about the impacts of human action on our earth’s climate. What begins as a HUGE human discovery – “plastics,” for example – ultimately causes some rather substantial climate challenges (plastic containers clogging water sources.) Yet we also experience wonderful joys from human discovery – the abilities to fight wildfires with techniques including aircraft dropping water on specific fire targets.

This constant battling of good and evil is challenging. What begins as a good invention can cause many unintended consequences.

Our human condition relies on wise counsel and substantial discernment for “putting our best feet forward.” May this day find us all learning – including learning sometimes by “doing it wrong”…

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
