Energy Opportunity!

OK, gas prices are getting stupid silly! Filled up the Trailblazer three times on our trip to Lubbock last week and had to take out a second mortgage!

It can be discouraging to be spending $300 on gas for what just a couple of years ago was a $100 trip . . . BUT . . . it's not gonna do anybody any good for me to sit around and whine!
[And you can see on this pic Cindy took on our trip that folks in West Texas aren't just sitting around - between Abilene and Snyder there are 'fields' with hundreds of these!]

What are you doing about it? And like Mark so awesomely talked about on Sunday, how do we turn this test into an opportunity?

And yes, we should be thinking of ways to level off our expenses (I've just been driving less!).
But how can this be an opportunity to more fully trust God . . . and not our resources?

And how can we serve others around us who are in incredible financial binds because of increasing costs? Who is somebody around you who needs to be blessed? Needs to see the love of Jesus in action? Maybe you're well enough off that you could buy them a gas card, or help them through another simple act of kindness.

What ideas do you have for the 'energy opportunity' that we're in?
