the farmer in me

welcome to my new life as a farmer.. well sorta, i've picked pumpkins once and that's enough for me.

for those of you who work in youth min. you know this fundraiser. i've inherited the pumpkin patch & so far.. i'm kinda happy with it, i get these three hour blocks of time where i get to sit & read, watch children get excited running around mounds of pumpkins, parents taking pictures, and meeting some of the other folks from the church that i have yet to build a relationship. nouwen, ties that in Christian fundraising it is all about relationships and just as important as a sermon or prayer. this one, it may be time consuming, it truly is something that brings a community to a happier place.
