Emphasis Preaching Journal

For many years, Irvin has had a garden in his backyard. His wife will tell you that every year it magically seems to increase in size. Each spring Irvin begins working in the garden, tilling the soil, and later planting vegetables. He has shared his love of gardening with different groups in the community, including his church. Anyone who appears the least bit interested is invited to come and check out his garden. Throughout the summer, people will come to check out his garden and frequently see Irvin at his best. He certainly takes pride in his garden.
