Day 151, day 43 in the gulf.

Day 151 and its Day 43 of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill.

Its hard for us to comprehend how catastrophic this oil spill is.
Its hard to understand how the people in Louisiana are feeling about their state again being hit hard.
Its hard to understand how it will eventually get sealed off.
It's hard to comprehend the long term environmental impact of this disaster.

It's also difficult to think that we'll learn from this.
They drill because we are thirsty for oil.

We, me included, have lifestyles that depend on oil.

Someone today told me it takes somewhere between 20-50 years for a culture to change its transportation habits.

There is a direct correlation between our thirst for oil and what's happening in the Gulf.

This is a truth we don't like.
It's not a new truth.

The Jews didn't kill Jesus .....I did, you did, we did.
There's a direct correlation between me and what happened on the cross.

I'm amazed that in all the reports I've read, watched or listened to ....this is never mentioned.

My intentional follow of Jesus today was to confess my guilt in the oil disaster, and to confess my role in the death of Jesus.

Its strange how one thought leads to another!
