[Dana Acker]

You know, most of humanity has farmed and fed their families and neighbors with wooden, stone, and iron farm implements for most of man’s history. No Toto-tillers or small lawn tractors. Just whatever was at hand and a lot of grit. To convert a lawn into a garden would be work; but it’s good work, and it would foster thankfulness when you eat that first meal from the garden. And according to the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, not being thankful is one of the defining and initiating factors of humanity’s descent into darkness.
