2nd Sunday: Walking Through Lent with Our Creator Scriptural Reflections

Read: Mark 9:2-10 and pray or journal: what word or phrase speaks to your emotion or intellect?

Read: the provided reflection (below) and pray or journal: what speaks to your emotion or intellect and what might you do?

Let us make three tents… Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, and sometimes I get stuck on a mountaintop. Peter wants to “get stuck” when he suggests pitching tents; he wants to hang out and enjoy the scenery for a while. But there are things to do and places to be, so God rejects the tent idea. As a society, we’ve certainly been stuck - stuck depending on fossil fuels. In some ways it’s been a great view. After all, I enjoy lights and heat. But in other ways it’s definitely a rut. Either way, it’s time to move on. Did you know that 90 percent of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050 ?

While that’s great news, I don’t want to sit around and wait for that to happen when my lights (likely powered by coal) and heat (powered by methane gas) are on right now. Luckily there are many ways I can reduce my energy use.

I invite you to join me by trying one (or more) of these energy saving tips , and while you’re at it, spread the word!

Blessings, Kate
