In the Garden


Anyone who thinks God does not have a sense of humor must not spend much time with him!
Next week, I will be the speaker for the Aldersgate Women's Retreat. And after our discussion of metaphors for the Christian journey I remembered the theme--In the Garden!!!
Okay, so I already admitted it wasn't a metaphor that resonated with me. So I can use some help. (Trav are you out there?) Trav already mentioned the importance of fruitfulness for a garden. And Marty mentioned the fact that with gardens you get both fruit and weeds and you have to learn to take both the good and the bad.
What are some of your other thoughts about Gardens and the Christian life?
(Also for another wonderful metaphor on Christian faith, check out the link "What if we had a jazz-shaped faith?")
