Caring for the Creator's Creation

Creation Care Ministry Network: An Ode to Natural Healing


"Tumble out of bed

And stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

And yawn and stretch and try to come to life..."


Many of you know the lyrics above from Dolly Parton's serotonin fueled morning tune, or what I like to call, the wake up anthem for weekday warriors, titled "9 to 5." This song has been a big hit for obvious reasons: It's just so darn catchy, irresistibly dance worthy, and its simply something that any and every person with an occupation can identify with. From the outside looking in, "9 to 5" was the perfect recipe for a morning workday theme song... well, kind of.


Sorry to all the Dolly fans, but this recipe tastes like it's missing something; a key ingredient that we overlook too often, nature. How often do we appreciate the trees stretching along the highway ahead instead of focusing on the barrage of cars in line speeding ahead, stop to view the sunrise or sunset before we make the transition from home to transportation device, or even thank God for the fresh air that flows through our lungs and racing hearts as we rush to our workplace destination?
