This week the store's email focused on Earth Day. Here' what they had to say,
"On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to our one and only planet. We are so grateful for her not only today, but every day. For the air we breathe, for the ground we walk on, for the water that connects us and is our life blood, for all the plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa that make up life as we know it."
My first thought was the obvious one, "How about sending out a big THANK YOU to God, who made the Earth?"
Those bacteria and protozoan didn't appear out of nowhere. Science has proven just how complex those tiny factories are. Once you start delving into cellular structure, proteins and amino acids, it's become clear that Mother Earth had some help that goes way beyond the limited reach of macroevolution.
Depending on your spiritual side, that help most likely came from the Father Intelligent Designer.
Here's what I wrote back,
"Thank you for today's email!
And in turn, our family is grateful for the Creator, the Lord God who is the author of the intelligent design that enables our shared joy of the earth...for the air we breathe, for the ground we walk on, for the water that connects us and is our life blood, for all the plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa that make up life as we know it.
Thanks be to God."

And to his credit, the store owner replied back that same day:
"Ingratitude is the worst thing we can show to the Creator. Thanks for being grateful."

Fair enough. I'll be interested to see next year's Earth Day email. Perhaps a reference to the Creator? We'll see.
Colossians Chapter 1: 15-17
"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
