"Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you."
Hosea
For anyone unfamiliar with the term "fallow ground", it refers to an ancient farming practice in which during the year(s) that the farm land was not being used, weeds were allowed to grow up in the field. These weeds brought back vital nutrients to the soil that would otherwise be lacking from farming the same crops every year.
I've been avoiding service to the Lord and to my fellow man for far too long. Most of my life has been fallow. It's been unused, and just sitting there.
Well, no more! It is my life's goal to become a better man physically, spiritually, and mentally and to help other men do the same.
