If there is to be a rapture or a second coming, I’d like Christ to find me at work in the garden, caring for what grows there; or in the classroom or lab, caring for my students and what grows in their lives; or holding my wife and children and grandchildren, not worried about the end of the world but living today as though I cared about those who will live tomorrow.

I’ve written a bit about that before. You can search this blog for “religion” and “garden” or you can just click here for a slightly longer reflection on this theme, with photos from my garden: davoh.org/2016/10/1…
