Having been made in the image of a homemaking God, whose persistent concern is for our flourishing, the church must share his desire for the world’s habitability – for both the spiritual and material concerns of its neighbors.
~Jen Pollock Michel, Keeping Place
I plopped this bag of goodness on the porch after buying the umalau/potatoes at market. Today, some of the starchy globes will find their way into a big pot, joining slippery cabbage, onion, wing beans, and curried coconut milk. There will be enough to feed the ones who live under my roof as well as enough to share with another family. So, while Aaron forges ahead in fine tuning the book of Matthew, and I type in Psalms, we also offer bandaids and soap and Tylenol and bowls of soup for “both the spiritual and material concern” of our neighbors.
