This is the end of our Advent Season, The idea behind this Podcast is that by linking Spiritually to Sustainability, I can provide inspiration for both prayer and reflection as we work together toward a more sustainable world. A world that I believe god wants us to create.Today's quotation is from Psalms 98:1
"Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him."To me, this is the Canticle of a New World Order, a sustainable world built for and in the image of God and Heaven. We have been gifted with all we need to get there. But getting there is a personal decision, a decision not so much for ourselves but one made with Love and consideration of each other! We are being called today to be the right hand of God!
So this Podcast was a decision I made back in October to have a daily reflection to explain and highlight different Sustainable Development Goals. At the time it sounded reasonable and doable. Little did I know then that I would be doing this in the midst of helping my wife through and recover from Open Heart Surgery.
Also, I never have done a Podcast before. I needed to research how it was done and purchase a decent microphone and equipment to do this. Not to mention learning new software and hosting services.
In the end, I am not even sure I was able to accomplish what I intended. Were friend's put off by my proclaiming things of a spiritual nature? Did it make folks better aware of sustainability without coming across as an environmental snob?
I welcome your feedback as I now take a break from this daily task. What did you like? What do you wish was avoided? Do you even want this to continue? I would even welcome those who might like to add their own voices to mine. Do you have something to share?
I would even welcome a monetary gift to show appreciation. If every listener was able to contribute just a dollar, I would be able to cover all the out of pocket costs of putting this Podcast on so far.
