RE: This Little Plot (1)

My first thought for this blog was "My Little Plot". But as my wife pointed out, this is way too close to My Little Pony, and to avoid mockery, I adapted.

"Plot" is usually taken two ways: a garden, or a story. I intend for it to be about both, and taken literally and figuratively. This (my) plot is both about my garden and my story, as well as about THE garden story that began in Eden (see Genesis 1+2) and ends up in the Garden City (see Revelation 21).

My plot is also "little". This is not to say it is unimportant- all of our plots are important. This is just to say, my plot is simply a "verse" in the grand story (see the post below).

My next post in this category will explain the tag line.

On Our Wall

We have two Van Gogh prints that have hung on our walls for the past six or seven years. This one is my favorite and seems apropos to my blog theme. It is called First Steps and pictures a man who was tending his garden pausing to receive his daughter as she takes her first steps. He stopped tending the garden, to tend to his family!

In the next few days, I will post more about the name and purpose of my blog.

I'll give a spacial shout out to any who remember or guess the other Van Gogh print on our wall.
