Thursday Theology and Mother Earth

I wasn't going to write this morning. 
Well, I was going to write. I did write several paragraphs and then deleted it because it was too unorganized and not well thought out. Maybe on another day.
Then I thought that I need to get to work in the yard since I took the day off yesterday and went to a ballgame.

But, ...
Planting a couple of trees and tending to my flowers has really become a kind of religion to me. Noticing creation and trying to live in harmony with the earth  and its environment brings me closer to its Creator. 
I will say that the Southwest Missouri soil (or lack of it) often makes it physically challenging. Digging even a shallow hole in the ground is a task for this old, fat guy.

It will be warmer later so I'm going to finish my coffee and quiet time (with a very vocal nearby house sparrow) and get to work meeting with my Creator and trying to offset my carbon footprint for today. 

Be well, my friends.
Plant flowers.
Be good to Mother Earth.
