What's in a Name


It was tough to come up with a name for this blog, as I mentioned here. Some people use catchy phrases, some use their family name, some use great descriptive fanciful phrases...nothing that worked for me.

As I was thinking about this oh-so-difficult choice, I was also working out the layout of my new garden in another part of my brain (aren't brains awesome?). While doing this, I was also planning what to pack for the Firefighter and I as we went on our first-ever-together camping-in-a-tent adventure for the Rogers family July 4th campout.

Then it came to me.

Life is like a garden. There are many things going on around you all at once. Things are growing, some things are dying, some things need changing, some things are pretty good how they are, lots of things need a good amount of attention to keep growing well and be healthy, there's always discipline needing to be involved to weed out bad things...

So this is about life; the garden of life.

How true and when we don't pay attention to our "garden", weeds come in and choke out the important "blossoms" of our lives so we must be diligent in our "walk" and in the "Water" that we let reign on our gardens.
