“Let every Christian be a gardener so that he and she and the whole of creation, which groans in expectation of the Spirit's final harvest, may inherit Paradise. If we Christian's truly treasure the hope that one day we, like Adam and the penitent thief, will walk alongside the One who caused even the dead wood of the Cross to blossom with flowers, then we must also imitate the Master's art and make the desolate earth grow green.” IfsMayArtWholeEarthChristianSpiritGrowsWalksCreationFlowerMastersOne DayExpectationsCrossesGreenFinalsWoodsTreasureParadiseAdamThievesHarvestGardenerDesolate Book:Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening Source: Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening

“A child is nothing like a racing car. . . . Souping up babies doesn't work that way. The child is what she is. There is a certainirreducible if elusive core. Pushing, pulling, stretching, and shrinking will not really change it. There may be spectacular interim results.

Whatever gains there are become unimportant. The losses can be irrevocable.” IfsWayMayChildrenLongTwoRunningThreeLossWalksResultsCarMastersBabyTenGainsTablesCorePushingRacingLong RunsPullingIrrelevantSpectacularStretchingElusiveUnimportantAlphabetShrinkingRace CarIrrevocableChild DevelopmentInterim Author:Stella Chess
