As I sit here and write to you, I’d like to share with you something more horrifying than a few boos – our current home, Earth.

I do believe that the collective power of everyone’s best efforts can curb the worst effects of climate change, and provide you with a more stable and secure future.

We’re moving into uncertain times, and your dad and I worry. A lot. But you’re keeping us going. You’re pushing us to make better choices and not give up.

My desire is for clean air, clean water, rich soil, and healthy nutritious food for you and all children always everywhere.

Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.

I also hope that your previous prayers have been answered. The way you wanted to create green jobs for your fellow city dwellers have been fulfilled already.

Hope we get to have that snowball fight I always dreamed we’d have.

Here in California we’re starting to recognize our climate changing the natural world around us.

As a minister, I have preached that we are here to be of service to others and to be care takers of this wonderful planet that God has given us.
