I've planted probably 30 different crops since I've been farming, so I've got a lot of diversity. That's why the wildlife is there, is because of the diversity. I've got a little bit of everything that they need. You can see it in the insect population, the bird population. Healthy soil makes healthy animals, makes healthy food. All this ties together.


Life without stories is mundane and meaningless and what stories do for us is they put the luster and the varnish of beauty on the mundane moments of our life and they give us a continuum to step back and to look at them and see meaning and to see purpose and to see rhythm and rhyme. There's power and there's beauty in the transmission of a story. The most powerful part of all of this is that without us knowing in ways that are not obvious God is the master weaver, is bringing all of those threads, all of those stories together and making something beautiful, powerful that brings him glory.
