We have this truth in Earthen Vessels - Trashy bags and the Glory of God

Further foolishness has been detected around the recent resurgence in do-it-yourself and refashioning. Focusing mostly on the 'reuse' part of the reduce-reduce-recycle triad, people are rediscovering creativity at a small scale and subverting the throw-away culture by repurposing stuff that others would classify as trash: A symbol of this trend to me are these bags made out of used bicycle innertubes, and it speaks to me volumes about glimpses of glory when people enact joyful and creative forms of not only rethinking but reusing the unexpected. Foolish, some might say, oh but we might see within it a holy folly! Want some more inspiration?
