Emphasis Preaching Journal

I grew up on a farm. I would have preferred to live in the city. So, I learned little about farm work. I did learn, above everything else, that I didn't enjoy it. However, I also learned that our family got to see the whole process of what happened to the food we ate. We planted the crops; we watered and weeded. We cultivated the garden, and in the fall, we harvested the food. Mother then canned what we couldn't eat fresh. Later in life, I became a Christian, entered the seminary, and became a pastor.
