Don’t Be A Banana Tree

One of my most favorite plants in our yard was our banana tree. We received it as a gift as a tiny baby tree. Sadly, it lasted only a few years.

On at least three or four occasions, my banana tree could have died. 

One year in particular, we had a severe cold front, followed by an intense summer heat wave.

Even though it still had the appearance of a banana tree, it slowly rotted from within.

It finally met its demise.

As artists in God’s mission, If we don't make use of our gifts, we’ll starve to death through the heat and chill of culture, world, and church.
