Who would attempt to fly with
the tiny wings of the sparrow
when the mighty power of the
eagle has been given to him?

Pray for Earth

Summer is almost here! Here on the east end of Long Island the beach means so much to us. Summer days, swimming in the ocean, fishing in the bay, walking on the beach, laying in the sand. Not to mention all of the families that earn their living working in the waters and in the resort towns. They rely on people coming to the east end to send their kids to college and put food on their tables.
The BP oil spill that occured in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20th continues to spill what they have estimated between 500,000 to 4.2 million US gallons of oil per day. its not only devasting the ocean and everything that lives in it but the people who rely on it for their existance.This link that I found shows what the spill would look like if it happened off the shore of Long Island. Please go to the link below and check it out. If your not already doing it, remember when you wake up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night to add the Earth to your prayers. I am not what anyone would consider an environmentalist but I am thinking that since no one can seem to figure out what to do a collective prayer can't hurt.
