Thoughts on compost and the Creator


I already think twice about everything I throw away...
Check out this article: 75 Things You Can Compost, But Thought You Couldn't

One cool thing about composting is seeing the natural materials of the world that God made to naturally recycle themselves (well, the bacteria do the recycling, really). I've always appreciated nature and natural materials, believing them to be more beautiful than man-made. Now I'm drawn to greater worship of our creator as I see a small window into how intricately He designed the natural world. Also I compare the man-made items to the more natural items and am more amazed. Plastic, for example. What a strange material! Doesn't seem to break down easily ("forever in a landfill") and may even "poison" our food if you freeze it or heat it. Plastic also doesn't look cool when weathered like wood or stones or glass does. Anyway, just some cool thoughts about the Lord over compost.
