Anyway, yes, I’m with you. Let’s bring back the 60’s! No, I mean let’s bring back the commitment to causes of the 60’s. It was fun. I remember being ecology-minded, cleaning beaches, picking up trash at rest stops along the highways, etc., etc. Then I joined the armed services, and got training in the “government way”.

ANYway, was that the actual sign? I don’t remember, I thought it was a lower-case e.

What was good about the 60’s I might ask. Loss of our American value system, drugs, failure to serve America, a peace symbol used by many to hide behind instead of taking responsibility for freedom, ecology aka envirnmental movement which prosecutes law abiding citizens for killing rats and cutting down underbrush which is nothing but kindling for forest fires? Yes, we as a country had and still have our problems. But the flourishing of the I, Me, Mine (apologies to the late George Harrison) generation has gotten us to the point of envirnmental fanatics and their government representatives being able to prevent common sense thinking and responsibities, the curtailment of American enterprise, judges interpretting the Constitution to suit their own political agenda and the obvious efforts of many to remove any indication of God, Christ and Christianity from the American landscape. We started down a very slippery slope in the 1960’s and be it the peace symbol or “e” we dont need to encourage those who would fasten onto those wordly symbols as a “cause.” Give me liberty or give me death (to this world).

Ah, Candace, it wasn’t wasted. It was new, it was exciting, and it was preparation for us to accept our Lord Jesus at just the right time (God’s time) in our lives. We grew up, we learned how to make decisions on our own (albeit late ones), we learned how to weigh all the facts and decide which politician was lying and which would get us out of the war. Besides, God knew you and me, He loved us, and He waited for us. I can imagine the tears in His eyes as He waited day after day, year after year, for us to turn to Him and see that the newest, most exciting Person, Event, Experience, was waiting right there. Can you imagine loving Him any more than you do today? Neither can He love you any more (or less) than He does right now. Talk about exciting!!

OK, done with the sermon. Don’t regret, Candace. Remember in love.

Thanks dude, love ya back!

I had one of those shirts. Mine was purple with the green theta and it said “Ecology Now” underneath the symbol. My parents bought one for me and my sister before summer vacation. I had to learn what ecology was… there was a movement at the time. Anyway, I miss that old shirt. I think they would sell like hotcakes. I would buy one in a heartbeat. It has to be purple with the green theta. I’m not sure if I could say the symbol was an E. And I’m not sure why that symbol was chosen for the ecology symbol. Epsilon would be “E”.
