Day’?s Verse:
I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.
Revelation 3:1-2

I rarely mention environmental issues on my blog, although they play a big part in my life and the decisions I make. Today, though, I would like to point out an excellent article in The Seattle Times on why we don’t carpool. We don’t carpool, the writer says, because:
- We’re spoiled
- We’re set in our ways
- We don’t trust other drivers with our lives
- We don’t know the true cost of commuting alone
The writer candidly discusses her own reasons for driving a gas guzzler, and concludes that maybe when gas gets just a little more expensive, she’ll consider carpooling.
I highly recommend the article. As you read it, ask yourself: Do I have any truly compelling reasons for not finding an alternative, more pocketbook- and environmentally-friendly way of commuting?

Okay, so check this out Katie. This would also be a great outline for a pastor who wanted to speak on, let’s say, Surrender to God.
Reasons why we don’t:
1. We’re spoiled
2. We’re set in our ways
3. We don’t trust God with our lives
4. We don’t know the true cost of trusting in ourselves.
Wow, you’re right! It’s like a sermon-in-a-box!
jesus is my carpool buddy.
