Only two more weeks until the Food & Faith Challenge begins! No matter where you are on your food journey, you will look at things in a new way. Be inspired to try new things. I hope you’ll join us!
Snow turns to mud.
Mud turns to humus.
And we leave our cocoons of artificial light and heat
to breathe the fresh air,
feel the sun’s warmth,
and plunge our hands into the soil.
All around us the gray of winter recedes
as bright shades of green burst forth.
Spring invites us to connect with the land
on which we live and recognize
that eating locally and seasonally
is healthy for the earth and our environment.
~Simply in Season Expanded Edition (World Community Cookbook)
Psalm 104:24 (The Message)
24-30 What a wildly wonderful world, God!
You made it all, with Wisdom at your side,
made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.
Oh, look—the deep, wide sea,
brimming with fish past counting,
sardines and sharks and salmon.
Ships plow those waters,
and Leviathan, your pet dragon, romps in them.
All the creatures look expectantly to you
to give them their meals on time.
You come, and they gather around;
you open your hand and they eat from it.
If you turned your back,
they’d die in a minute—
Take back your Spirit and they die,
revert to original mud;
Send out your Spirit and they spring to life—
the whole countryside in bloom and blossom.
