Doing Something

It might seem that one who writes a blog would love to just kick ideas around and write about them.

The truth is however, there's a big part of me that's sick of just contemplating and talking and writing. We contain this radical message of transformation and redemption but often we mull it over for so long that it loses its power and becomes, well, just another interesting set of ideas.

So my family and some friends of ours are doing something.

We want to stay on this journey of thinking differently about food and our relationship to creation, and following Jesus in community, but we also want to express this with our lives.

We're just getting started, but it's a start.

It may not seem revolutionary to grow a bunch of tomatoes on your front lawn and let people help themselves. But it is an expression of an inner revolution that's occurred in our lives. A change in our hearts that recognizes that the life of Jesus must be lived in the neighborhood, and not kept in religious gatherings.
