Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. Back to the basics. February 25, 2015. February 22, 2015. I’m not big on buying more of what I already have. I can just dig and divide and get those. I want something new. I want something different. I want something that my gardening friends don’t have (and that they will envy). So I peruse the catalogs and surf the web to find anything with those magical words “New and Improved! I used to hear it almost everyday at. A nursery and retail garden center where I work...

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. What if God asked you for a favor? August 19, 2015. August 18, 2015. A friend of mine replies to every favor I ever ask with the same words. 8220;You’ve got it! I’ve tried that response. It sticks somewhere in my throat. Most days, the best I can muster is, “I’ll do my best.” In all honesty, that’s a stretch. Here’s how I usually respond. 8220;What is it? I want to know in advance what I’m going to be asked to do. It seems fair enough. I respond the same way to God.

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. April 29, 2015. April 29, 2015. I strained to hear it again. Nothing. Unmoving, I held my hair dryer in mid air as if my frozen stance would silence the world around me, just in case there was another rumble. Still, nothing. A glance at my phone’s weather app was clear. Sunshine. No rain. So, why the thunder? Yes Thunder. I knew the sound. The trashcan that sounded like thunder. It wasn’t the first time I had mistaken something for the sound of thunder. I’ve ...

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. A Race Against the Clock. August 29, 2016. August 29, 2016. It was the most bizarre race I had ever witnessed. How peculiar those runners must have felt! Didn’t it throw them off their game? I can’t imagine running a race without an opponent. Just one runner against the clock. Just the runner against the clock. The circumstances leading to this sports anomaly are both involved and controversial. The race has replayed itself in my mind’s eye time after tim...We may ...

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. Nir Ministries got its name from the Hebrew word nir, which means two things. As a noun, nir means “fallow or untilled land; land that has not been put in cultivation”. As a verb, nir means “to till, to plow, or to break up untilled ground”. Was a birthday gift for my mother. When additional copies of the book were requested by so many other friends and relatives, I decided to write a second book – In The Master’s Garden. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Follow Groundbr...

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. June 30, 2015. June 30, 2015. Everything seemed to have come together. Even the unusually mild weather appeared cooperative. It was one of those rare Saturdays when I wasn’t committed to someone else’s demands or to house work, and I was in the mood to pull some weeds. I would be out in the garden at first light. Trowel in hand, I settled on the spot requiring the most attention. The weed-pulling began. The meditation mode began. The listening began. It’s not...

Unearthing God's Desires for Your Life. December 19, 2014. January 30, 2015. How had we missed it? 8220;Has this always been here? 8221; One would think. We had overlooked the opportunity to see some beautiful sights; vignettes whose beauty refused to be dimmed by the waning sunlight and the dreariness of the oncoming winter. How often do you get to see a huge boulder that looks like the head of a sleeping Snapping Turtle? As we walked along our newly-discovered path I couldn’t help but reflect on ...
