Should SUVs be illegal?

Sometimes I see people driving big SUVs, and of course they're the only person in it, and I just think to myself--why???

I'd like to see a tax on any vehicles that have more than 4 cylinders...Kind of like a luxury tax, but if your car has 6 cylinders than you pay an additional amount of tax--if your car has 8 cylinders then you pay a greater amount, etc...

This would help 'steer' consumers towards smaller, more economical cars. And I say, why not?

The Lord's Prayer

When Jesus' disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, I think they got more than they bargained for. Look closely at the core of Jesus' prayer--it's this line that strikes me: "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven..."

When we consider those words--we're not asking for an escape from our circumstances! We're not asking for spiritual grit to endure until we can escape to a heavenly eternity. No, we're asking that all of heaven would in-break NOW--in every way.

That also has ramifications for how we treat the earth and the environment. Would Jesus care for the world--its people and its resources? Yes! Why? Because it is still God's world--and God's world is His in every way.

To me, it's impossible to separate caring for our world and walking in hand with the Savior.
