Gazing upon the American garden it is evident that a certain blight has overtaken much or most of it, increasingly turning what used to be verdant green produce and flowers into diseased vegetation. “An enemy hath done this” I thought to myself, and perceived that this decay was the work of a certain gardener, if he can be called that, who first appeared in this earth in a Garden.
Sowing sowing seeds of doubt, envy, victimhood and discontent and disobedience, he originally obtained some right to property, yet he seeks complete dominion,and finding fertile ground for his seeds he slowly turns such places that into a wasteland. His fruit at first produces an appearance of beauty, and at first is sweet, however, it creates an insatiable appetite for more while leaving a bitter taste, often leaving a root of bitterness, resulting in decay and death.
The only know antidote for this is from the Rose of Sharon, the powerful juice of which has healed all who receive it, thanks be to God.
Well, THAT was a cheerful addition to our thread.
But, I feel your pain. ;)
