Jack's Demise

Well, Jack has been banished from the house, as he is starting to rot - which has led to lots of discussion as to why this happens. Even pumpkins have to go someday!

But there is always hope in death! Even for pumpkins! Last year, we placed our rotting pumpkin in the backyard (and forgot about it) letting nature take its course. Well, lo and behold a few months later, we started getting the nicest pumpkin plants sprouting from the ground. They were quite sturdy too, well, until Dad accidentally mowed them over! So this year we have placed our pumpkin in the designated garden area and are hoping for the best!

This pumpkin is just another little reminder of hope that God has placed in this world! It is His way of reminding us that death always leads to new life. Remember to place that hope on solid ground!

(So as to keep away those "lawn mowers").
