I'm just about done reading the book Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado. I would highly recommend it! I love what he wrote about Colorado Aspen and the Church..."Colorado aspen provide a living picture of the church. Have you noticed how they grow in groups, often on the otherwise bald sides of mountains? They are sun seekers and root shares. Unlike firs or pines, which prefer shade, aspens worship warmth. Unlike oaks, whose roots go deep, aspen roots go wide. They intertwine with other roots and share the same nutrients.
"Light lovers. Root sharers. Sounds like a healthy church."What a cool word picture of the church!
