I love cutting grass
April 18, 2008I love to cut my grass. I have a riding lawn mower and for about an hour I get to just drive around my house and think and dream uninterrupted. It is a mindless activity that lets me connect some thoughts and with God. I think about how much I love my family and my house and the life that God is building for us here in North Georgia. I think about students and how to reach them and how much I love being a student pastor. I think about friends and family and who I need to call just to catch up with when I get done with the yard.
All in all it is a way for me to relax and just decompress from a long week. We all need to have at least one thing that lets us rest our minds and hearts. Getting to just push thoughts out of my head is what I need to unwind. So anyway, here is to the first cut of the season and I look forward to MANY more.
I wish I shared your enthusiasm for cutting grass.
FACT: I do not miss cutting grass
UNFACT: Cutting grass is fun. Whilst a time that one can day dream, it is not enjoyable when one could be sipping on a Starbucks or napping in the shade.
Hey…I would love to minister to you by letting you cut my grass too. I will ask the landlords to notify our lawn guy that he has been replaced.
