Beautiful sunset |
The tulips I planted last year are coming in |
It's the most wonderful time of the year! |
when it comes to “the church” i think we have a really jacked up system related to power. we have adopted the ways of the world and the methods of businesses as our central practices instead of the beatitudes. and even though a lot of people with power are taking more and more about “kingdom living”, often, they are perpetuating the same old power structures, where sexism & racism & inequality & oppression prevail.With the American presidential campaign really heating up right now, I decided to spend some time reading Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount." This is the very thing that Gandhi - a non-Christian - read every day. (So does Father John Dear, the amazing peace activist.) As I read through the passage, all I could do was shake my head and wonder how one can misinterpret "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth." How can any Christian believe it is okay to support leaders who do anything but support peace and equality? (Obviously today's quote evolved into something more than just a quote.)
Road to the pond (ignore shadow) |
Looking through the weeds at the pond |
Walking through some of the pines we planted |
Our road |

A rare sight - chickens crossing the road |
Sorry about the poor quality photo |
Why hello little one! |
Not the model I have my heart set on but closer than most |
Our spread of delicious food |
Morning on the farm |
