A Green Thread: Air Force Academy

Air Force Academy

We live close to the Academy and today was graduation. The Thunderbirds put on an air show for the academy and guests and because we are close we got to see some amazing stuff! Here are my lame photography skills.

At times they were too close to get focused! That's close. Then they went off into the wild blue yonder, yes it is ok to sing that.

What fun! We got to see them at an airshow last year. Their skill is amazing; to fly so close and never hit. How they manage the turbulence and wind shears is beyond me.

Why a Green Thread?

Some 40 years ago, or more, there arose a dispute between my sister and my brother-in-law over a certain piece of fabric. Was it gray, or was it green? I don't remember who argued which way, but in the end, my peacemaking sister pointed to the cloth and explained, "Look--it has a green thread in it!"

From then on, we were finding "a green thread" in every piece of fabric we saw. It had become a family joke.

As time went on, and the concept of going green came along, it occurred to me that our family had been green all along, recycling, repurposing, reusing all we could, more out of necessity than social conscience. So today I see that there is a metaphorical green thread running through our family.

It goes beyond using what you have, which we do. It's more than just finding pleasure in making old things new. It's making sure everything in your home has a purpose. You see, holding on to something you no longer need is wastefulness. So it's really about respecting God's provision. And look for a green thread in everything.
