Ahhhh….the great Midwest.
People ridicule me in the way I find such beauty and elegance in the fly
over states. When I lived in Kansas, which I did for a total 15 years, I
traveled quite a bit through the Midwest, and it is lovely. Few big cities (Kansas City is not considered
a large city, Saint Louis is a shell of its’ former self due to 50 years of progressive
“Leadership”….Chicago is a shit hole that needs to be moved to New York).
Last Sunday I had a flat tire on the way to work….AAA came
and pulled the tire (it was not repairable), and put the “full sized spare” on…..which
is a 17” wheel, which is full sized I guess….except my truck has 20” wheels….so
I limped home on the back roads, which took me through A LOT of cornfields. The corn is SO tall, green and healthy…..and
by the fall, farmers will be working like Santas. Elves on the harvest…..and it
was great….it just made me FEEL great….I actually know people that are going to
bust their asses planting and harvesting…to feed the nation. And driving the country roads, looking at it was
just overwhelming.
And I get home and my wife had sent me this article….and it
is a marvel itself.
Someone once told me that they were constantly looking for
evidence of Gods hand in life, trying to find a focal point for their “meditation
and reflection.” I told her to just
drive out of town a half hour, take a seat in the dirt, look at the rolling
plains, covered in corn, or (depending on the season) beans….and you will see
God, you will see a focal point for your meditation…look at those men and
sometimes boys, working their asses off to get the crops to your table.
My Georgia son thinks that my devotion to the Midwest is
humorous. But just take a look at what
God, working through people, can do.
And if you want too….meditate on that.
