A lot of my writing went into sermons and seminary papers, but I'm beginning to feel the urge again. I need something creative going on in my life. |
It's faithful without being religious. It's a garden book but it's not about gardening. It's sort of inspirational but it's not a devotional. |
The book was very much a part of my continuing growing sense that I should go into the ministry. It was just that kind of sense that God was using the words of the book in some way that was unfathomable because it affected people's lives in an amazing way. |
The first day I found myself writing down topics of things that I had thought about while I was in the garden and then I just wrote madly for over two weeks. Most recreation relaxes our bodies but keeps our minds engaged. Gardening is just the opposite of that, so it really allows your mind to wander. For me it became a time of thinking about things. |
