My First Post
I am a theology student and garden hobbyist from Northern Europe. I live only about 50 miles from Lapland I even meet reindeer on my way to the village. I still want to try how many plants mentioned in Bible I can grow on my yard.
Because I am more a theologian than a gardener I will also write about the plants.
Just now it looks about like this on my garden, so it takes some time before there grows something. But the next season begins first inside when I get the new seeds. I hope I have something new to post very soon.
The Snow
Even the snow is mentioned in the Bible. Job is using snow water to clean himself. But even then he is not getting clean enough. Psalmist is asking to be cleaned that he could be "whiter than snow". The snow is something that really makes clean. My dog wants to swim in the snow and he is never so clean at the summer. The new snow is also very clean when it has just fallen to ground. But it does not take long time and the places where we go are getting less white again. When the nature is like cleanest it is also most sensitive to get dirty again. It is then we notice the dirt. It is like that also with my eyeglasses, when I have them long time without cleaning then I don´t even notice that I barely see trough them. Then I finally clean them and after just few minutes I do notice how dirty they are again.
It is like that with our souls also. If we let them get dirty we don´t notice it anymore. But if we keep them white as snow we notice when we are getting the new dirt on them.
