• SOUL-PRINTS: Is God Punishing Me?

• TRAILMIX: JanMaree’s Kitchen Chocolate Dessert

• EARTHOLOGY: Harris and the Planet

A new episode of Tracks for the Journey tackles a tough question for many: “Why is God punishing me?” The answer to the age-old question affects our well-being in many ways. Modern psychology and progressive theology offer insights built on God’s love and human choices which inspire hope in the toughest times of life. Explore the teaching Jesus offered when the disciples struggled with the same question to develop greater resilience in your own journey.

The episode begins: “The chaplain listened quietly to the story of heartache unfolded by his patient. The story poured out: a grievous injury, a bitter divorce, a son’s death by overdose, now the stage four cancer. With tears, his question came to the clergyman. “Why is God punishing me?” The search to answer the question of divine punishment and human behavior is as old as humanity itself. The answers we hold can profoundly affect our well-being….”

“Kamala Harris is a courageous advocate for the people and the planet. From prosecuting polluters as California’s Attorney General to authoring bold climate legislation that would become central to the landmark Inflation Reduction Act, she has worked for decades to combat the climate crisis and protect our health and future. There is no doubt that she will work to continue the Biden-Harris administration’s legacy of acting ambitiously to advance our progress toward a just, thriving clean energy economy.” —Ben Jealous, Sierra Club Executive Director.

Four leading environmental, clean energy and climate organizations — the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Action Fund, the NRDC Action Fund, the Sierra Club, and Clean Energy for American Action (CE4A Action) — have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President. The Biden-Harris administration has done far more to address the climate crisis and environmental injustice than any administration in our nation’s history.

Tim Mohin writes in ESG News, “Her record makes it very likely that a Harris Administration will continue or even deepen the focus on climate, with a focus on social justice. As far back as 2005, when Harris was Attorney General of San Francisco, she set up an environmental justice unit. Throughout her time as a US Senator, Presidential Candidate, and Vice President, she has continued her climate advocacy. As a Senator, she was a proponent of the “Green New Deal.” During the Presidential primaries, she pledged $10 trillion to climate neutrality (almost 10x more than Biden’s plan), proposed a carbon tax, and an end to fossil fuel subsidies and fracking. Then, as Vice President, Kamala Harris cast the deciding vote in passing the Inflation Reduction Act and argued in favor of IRA funds being invested in disadvantaged communities.”  https://esgnews.com/tim-mohin-kamala-on-climate/
