Our Source: Publix?

Last summer [2007] Debbie, the girls, and myself began talking about how much our lives seem so far removed from much of what God has created–LIKE AIR; after all, we live, work, and go to school in environments that have our air conditioned through machines.

It led to a brutally hot camping trip in the middle of last summer’s heat wave; not the experience we had envisioned while dreaming it up in our 70 degree conditioned air. Nonetheless, that camping adventure did produce an increased awareness of just how disconnected we truly are from even the simple miracle of a seed growing; our source often seemed more like Publix then it did our maker.

Desiring to close-the-gap and disconnection of God being the main source of our lives, over the winter months we purchased some Earth Boxes www.earthbox.com and began to anticipate the miracle of seed, time, and harvest. Here are some of our first fruits: Banana Hot Peppers. They are a daily reminder to us that God is indeed our source!
