life is messy..

When a person says they are a Christian, shouldn't they act according to the Bible? I think so, altho I fail to do so during the course of the day. A neighbor is trying to get a septic waste-spraying system (for human waste he picks up everywhere) installed as a business on his 25 acres of land.

He applied in secret and the county didn't know about it until a year after the deed was done. Over 300 people have complained and written letters. The EPD, which is a misnomer, by the way, has now given him the permit. He can't do anything about it until the county signs off on it. Apparently it is all legal.

Many people have talked to him, including me, trying to make him see how his idea is giong to ruin our property values, an even more than that, his business will adversly affect the health of many of his neighbors, including my husband. He doesn't care, he's going to do it anyway.

Why are we so upset? He lives on a mountain ! And his home is located on 25 acres, with natural springs that trickle down stream into a beautiful creek that is stocked and used often. The creek will be ruined. And I believe animals will die as probably hundreds get their water from this creek. I told him that even if I was ruining just one persons' property values I would NOT put the business in. To me, that is a Christian value put into action. Not to him. He says he is a Christian and that all who object are just ignorant.

I live next door to him and I know our air quality will be affected. No more clean, crisp mountain air. Bugs, flies, rats and other creatures will love it.

I have tried to enlist help from congressmen, senators, the governor, and even PETA. Not one word of help. Oh, wait, they did give me some advice; they all said, except PETA, that they would forward my letters to the EPD. Helloooo, they are the problem!
