oil and water. [168]

all of you have heard of the oil spill in the gulf. just about everyone is freaking out. but i see a lack of Christian response.
i have seen an organization hold a prayer vigil.
it's difficult to know what to do. i mean, it;s not like with katrina. you can't just go and rebuild. but there are things that you can do.
we can pray. this is often put on the back burner but it's the most powerful thing we can do . pray for guidance, wisdom, mercy, grace, the environment and the community affected.
we can mourn. mourn for those losing their jobs and the animals covered in oil.
we can act. we must act to restore the lives of those in the gulf. we must rethink the way we consume resources in a our lives.
we can prove the Christians care by praying, mourning, and acting to positively impact the situation in the gulf.
