If you are a regular at these break- fasts you know that the food is plen- tiful and the price is right, so mark your calendar now. We hit the road again last week- end. The traffic clogging our four- and-more-lane highways makes me wonder why rural folk are preached to so much about conservation and the environment. Farmers and other rural people have been good stewards of their world for decades, recycling, com- posting, reusing, etc. So we cut our lawns with gas-powered mowers but that can’t compare with the emis- sions of all those cars on a daily basis. While we go about shutting off lights in unused rooms, the office buildings blaze away night after night and the dark season is just beginning. Perhaps a few of those tiny night lights would be a good substitute; it’s amazing how much light they shed in a closed space. No service at church, Sun.
