Fresh Produce or Garbage Dump
I had a sudden revelation today at work. I was potting mini pumpkins into bigger containers so that they could grow, and I found myself thinking about that part in the Bible where Jesus says that you will be able to recognize a false prophet by the fruit that they bear. Now I'm the type of person who takes the Bible way too literally so a lot of Jesus's sayings are lost on me because I can't think of them metaphorically. But I guess something about having that lump of pumpkin roots in my hand made it make sense, and it made me wonder what sort of things I'm producing in my own life. Like if I could transform all my actions and decisions into groceries, what would I have? Would I have a basket full of nice ripe fruit, or would I have some expired milk and coffee grounds? And once I got to the checkout, what would Jesus say? Will he be pleased with what I've done, or will he shake his head at the crap I've got coming out of me. Please don't take that last sentence literally.

Hey bogonia-face. I miss working at the greenhouse with you guys. Remember the day we were planting those geraniums and I put one of those rotten dirt tea-bags down your back? haha and then we loaded up and went and attacked Josie and Holly and they just stood there so confused?
ps. Matthew 7:18
I think you're a good tree...just stay on the vine
love your sensei
Thanks buddy. You really are my sensei. And yes I remember the tea bags. I also remember you tipping a cart over on my birthday and then Lois and Pauline examining all the different pretty colours while you shouted "No time to stop and smell the flowers!" all worried one of our many bosses would pop up somewhere and freak out at us.
I thought i would just tell you that i love ya buddy!!!
