That Ugly Grass!


Since buying our home back in August of 2007 we have been steadily making improvements to the house. We've painted most of the first floor as well as the upstairs. Changed out some light fixtures and added mini blinds. But the most recent project has been focused on getting our lawn back in shape. You should see it. It's hideous. Ugly. Unsightly. Pitiful. Just plain awful!

There are weeds, weeds and more weeds. Weeds of every kind. You name it, we've probably got it. There are bare spots too. I remember mowing it maybe once or twice last fall and thinking, "This is so sad...mowing more weeds than there is grass!" Well, that is all about to change. We've hired a lawn fertilizer company and are getting our lawn back on the fast track to health and recovery. With a scheduled calendar of timely treatments, aeration and seeding later in the year, we should be able to find more grass than there are weeds in our lawn!

It's just like our spiritual lives too. We can let it go for a period of
time thinking that it will some how sort of operate on auto drive. You know, take care of itself. Listen, that's not going to work! GUARANTEED! You've got to be involved with the upkeep and care of your spiritual life. If you don't, somebody else will sow seeds of all kinds of weeds into your spiritual lawn. Take action right away. Get on a schedule of regular Bible reading. Confess your sins to the Lord. Go to church weekly. Get involved in ministry service. Just watch those weeds of sin shrivel up under the blood of Christ.

Ugly lawn...not any more. I'm ready to see some progress, any progress is better than what we've had. GREEN LAWN with green grass here we come.

Take care,

Pastor Andreasen
