Green homebuilding spreads 1

I would be remiss if I did not at least link to this great AP story on the spread of eco-friendly homebuilding. A happy trend. What's missing, of course, is a commensurate rise in eco-friendly community building -- but I suspect that will be along shortly.

    Solar Panels on HomesI think it's great that people are beginning to see that solar panels can produce more than enough energy to, say, run a huge church and Christian school on a large campus.  
    In San Diego, Horizon Christian Fellowship (an offspring of Calvary Chapel) installed large solar panels (they rolled them on the buildings' roofs) and now are off the grid of the local electric company.
    Three cheers for Horizon, which uses a gymnasium to hold services (three huge screens for Powerpoint, a live band, a big audience, and a Pastor who doesn't just share from the Bible but who lives the life and cares about this earth and its people--and who gives them the Good News of God sending down His Son Jesus to bear our sins on the cross and give us eternal life--as He rose again.  
    So as Easter approaches, let's give at least these Christians a thumb's up!
