Light Up the Richmond Phone Lines for Energy Efficiency on Monday!

by: Eileen

Sun Feb 08, 2009 at 10:27:24 AM EST


The Virginia State Senate will be voting this Monday and Tuesday on critical energy efficiency bills. Please call your State Senator and tell them that we must find a way of meeting our energy demands without burdening already stretched family and small business budgets. In today's economic environment, investing in energy efficiency can save consumers and businesses money while enhancing our energy security.

Tell your State Senator to vote "YES" on energy efficiency legislation.  SB 1447 (McEachin), SB 1440 (Herring) and SB 1248 (Northam) each represent a major step forward for energy efficiency in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

This is it, people. It's now or never time! Please make this call and let's light up every Senator's phone line in Richmond come Monday.  

Who is your State Senator and what is his/her phone number?  Click here to find out. Thank you!

I woke up on Easter morning and opened up a book I have been reading called "Possessing Joy," by Steve Backlund. The title of the chapter that I was beginning was called "Destination Disease," which went on to talk all about how our joy cannot be dependant upon reaching our destination. With the Boston Marathon just around the asic shoes corner it was a timely word. I find myself easily drifting off thinking about how I would feel after winning the Boston Marathon. Not that it is a bad thing to dream about achieving a life goal, but the joy in achieving the goal should only add to the complete joy I should experience everyday. An hour later I headed out to church for our Easter Sunday service. The pastor gave a very similar message to what I had just read. He spoke about being living nhl hockey jerseys in the moment and how Jesus' death and resurrection tore the veil between man and God and gave every man opportunity to enter into His presence whenever they desire. Entering into the presence of God is the key to being in the moment and getting the most out of each moment. What a great reminder of my goal for, not only the Boston Marathon, but for every training run, and ideally, every moment of life: to share asics running each moment with God by being aware and entering into His presence. Happy Easter!
