With this new blog, I have a new goal. Only, the goal isn’t really new… I’ve had it for about a year and a half. But now it is outspoken and more deliberate than ever. What is this goal?

To see the glory of God in the ordinary things of life. The first instance on this new and improved blog is the decision about the theme to use. There is a picture of grass at the top. I chose it because it is about as ordinary as you can get, and it glorifies God.

The lawn-mowing season has begun. I have cut my grass three times now this season (and sprayed weed-killer once). I cut it, and it grows right back. A week is all I can wait, or else my mower won’t be able to get the job done (and sometimes it can’t even after just a week). I think about all the amazing things going on in each blade of grass; in each cell of each blade of grass. And how quickly it grows. You can almost watch it grow it is so fast.

And the weed killer is another God-glorifying ordinary thing. I mix this stuff together, spray it all over, and it kills the things I don’t want around and leaves the grass to grow and be happy. How does it do that? Well, I’m sure someone knows. But I don’t. I just see the little guys start squirming around, and I glory in it.
