Well . . ..
Here’s a great little read about a more “positive” reading of creation/recreation/renewal.
Even those ridiculous global warming-denying Baptists might like this. Sarcasm implied.
The World Is Mine
When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be ... I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry

Thanks for the link to my post on Jason Clark’s site. I totally agree, and i think begins to give us very good theological reasons for environmental care, as well as practical reasons.
