These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.
My name is Dave Von Bieker, and I’m a snoozeaholic.
I love my snooze button with it’s promise of nine more minutes. Nine more minutes of dreamy indecision. Nine more minutes of pre-dawn warmth.
Nine less minutes to read and pray. To plan and write. To control my time before the family wakes up and requires my full attention. Making lunches. Coordinating mittens. Checking homework and filling out field trip forms.
I have a problem.
How can I trick myself into getting out of bed on time?
