“We have not wondered enough at the delights God has given us to appreciate them, and be good stewards. We have overworked the land, poured pollutants into river and stream, fouled the air we breathe with gas fumes and chemical smoke spiraling up from industrial chimneys. We have sown the wind.

“Augustine said that we were all born into the world of "common grace" [i.e., available to all]. Before one is baptized, or even if one never is, such grace meets one in God's creation. There is grace in the pear tree that blooms and blushes. There is common grace in the sea (that massive cleanliness which we are proceeding to corrupt), in the fact that there was, before we laid hands on it, clean air. Our task is to appreciate that grace.” IfsWorldSaidFactsHandsBornCommonGraceAirTreeSeaCreationAppreciateTasksCleanAvailableMassiveCleanlinessProceedingBaptizedPearsAugustineGod's CreationClean Air Author:Joseph Sittler
“In my safe corporate job, I might have made one decision of real significance a year. As an entrepreneur, it feels like I'm making a decision every minute - I have lots of balls in the air, and so yes, sometimes I drop one or two. And for the most part, the balls are made of rubber and they bounce. So instead of carrying one ball very carefully, being worried that I might not be holding it at exactly the right angle, I am juggling hundreds, and I have to remind myself to appreciate all the balls I keep up in the air for every one that gets dropped.” FeelsYearsMadeTwoRealSometimesMightJobsDecisionAirMinutesSafeAppreciateBallsEntrepreneurWorriedCorporateSignificanceAngleBounceRubberJugglingUp In The Air Author:Jane Park
