Welcome To The Jungle

The things in my garden have grown so tall it is like being in a jungle. Here is a brief photo essay on my personal jungle.


Having never been stupid enough to watch horror movies about people getting killed in the cornfield I think it is pretty neat hanging out between the rows of corn.


Some of my okra is over eight feet tall now. I can easily hide in the midst of it. Except for the fact that it makes you itch like crazy, it is pretty cool being inside this natural cathedral.


And just as in a man-made cathedral there are many adornments, my cathedral has some beautiful details as well. There are beautiful flowers,


Stained glass windows,


And peaceful prayer rooms...

The garden has bee a great place for me to work and watch God at work. It has given me a sense of being connected to nature and spending time in my jungle has given me great joy even in the midst of the significant work that has been required. It is a very secure place to spend my time. Even if it has brought out my weird side a little bit!
