Because Souls Are Like Gardens
'Because Souls Are Like Gardens' is a collection of fictional and non-fictional musings—anywhere from life's quirky moments and general happenings, to thoughts and experiences around Jesus, the Kingdom, and truth. Much like a garden, what is planted here today, will be different to what is planted here tomorrow. Happy Pickin's!

We are not of this world; we have been born again from above…
This is a thank you note to say I appreciate the fact that in YOU that I LIVE and move and have my being... not through anything else.
