Holy Land

In Exodus and Acts, scripture points out that God told Moses, “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.” Then in Joshua, the commander of the Lord’s army told Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.” 

     I know this is a long stretch and has nothing to do with God’s command to “take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground,” however I will use it to make a point about a pet peeve of mine. 

     “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” then later Jesus said, “I am with you always.” Because this land was created by God and Jesus is with me always, the land upon which I tread is holy. It is up to me to be respectful of the land in which I am so blessed to live. I have a responsibility to keep it clean.

     If we all considered this land holy, I would not be seeing “LITTER” (haphazard tossing of cans and paper) along every road, highway, and interstate.  

     It is so easy to keep a litter bag handy!
