An Old Farmer Who's Turned Author

I find myself stepping back and taking a long look at who I am, and what I have become. I am a simple old farmer who has been blessed with seeing my books published. As I meditate about farming and compare it to having my books published, I can see they are very similar. In farming you carefully prepare the soil, and then with diligence you plant your seed. You then cultivate and weed until the crop can stand on its own. Then you pray that you will have a bountiful harvest. It is amazing how the two stand so close together. Even more amazingly is how they both can feed people.
