I too have been thinking lately about what my spiritual connection should be with the earth and wrote a blog entry (http://thelocustshell.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/a-new-earth/) not long ago about what I determined. <br /><br />In short, I feel like the earth is not only a type for Christ, but also somehow a privileged (and personified) recipient of His love. His involvement in its creation, the Atonement's capacity to atone for and renew it, and its eventual geographic centrality as Christ's place of reign all point to the earth as a remarkable and mysterious entity in itself. While I find it difficult to wrap my mind around all of the complexities with atoning for a non-living (or is it?) entity, I do believe that a sincere devotion to the earth and its maintenance should be the goal of any Latter Day Saint, if for no other reason than out of respect for our Saviour's investment in it as a special place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
