It’s the same every year in South Mississippi, except this one.  This year you bought a little slice of heaven. You found the perfect place to land, a place where under God’s blue sky your toes can feel the dirt as you dig and stir the soil for a garden.  You did just that too.  A few weeks ago, a neighbor plowed up a patch and you bought some seed.  That little rain, that very same bright sun, those cool days and nights all joined to make those little dark seeds sprout after you spread them on the ground.   

Just imagine a perfect Fall morning. The sun is so bright, the air so clean, and not one puffy white cloud in the sky. The little weather front came pouring through yesterday afternoon bringing just enough rain to wash clean this green earth.  There is a nip in the air making a sweater feel so fine.    

As you stand on the hill in the middle of your very own turnip patch, you wonder “How can life be so bright.  Can I find better medicine than these green leaves cooked with some salty meat on a bone? Can I find a better view?”   

Find your little slice of heaven today.
