Caring for Creation on a Budget
Winter isn't too far away. My wife and I laugh over the disagreements we have had over the thermostat setting in our home in past winters.

Cyndi fought for moderation. Both of us took secret missions to change the thermostat back toward our own preference. One time when she caught me at it, she complained: “You’re not really trying to save the Earth—you’re just a cheapskate!”
