Ever wonder why some wines taste so much better than others from the same area, and sometimes from the same vineyard? Terroir- where the vines are located.
The best fruit, when it comes to the noble grape, is when it is stressed and starved and generally located in the poorest soil on the hill. You would think if you put Miracle Grow and fertilizer on, and pampered the heck out of them, that the wine created from those grapes would be fantastic right? Nope- ruined; good for $2 Chuck or worse yet, relegated to become vinegar.
I sometimes wonder why I can't catch a break so to speak, why life has to be so hard. Could it be that God is allowing the stress and strain of this life to create one with character and seasoning that is used for a blessing to others? They will know us by our fruit.
I hope these blogs can be used to help others when crap happens.
About Me
- The Rudder
- So now I'm on my 3rd bout with cancer. I have to admit the treatments are getting old already...Life takes on a completely different perspective. Trials only cause us to overcome and emerge as much stronger individuals of character. Over the years, I bought into the Trump and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" phylosophy of the power of leverage. As a real estate investor,I used that knowledge of the day to build a little empire of over 300 properties, sub-division, and commercial buildings, throw in a car dealership, and a nice stock portfolio etc, bur now it's all gone away. In spite of all the hardship, God is good and all needs are met. I have a great family, my faith is stronger than ever, and friends willing to go through the fire with me. Life is good. These blogs are mostly about stories and situations from the here and now, but also from the there and then of life. But sometimes, it may just be about stuff. If you like it; please leave a comment.
