Come on, we all know what fertilizer is.

the theme for this Sunday is the fertilization of the fig tree. We all know what was placed around ti to fertilize it. In life we are handed a lot of crap. Some of it we work very hard to earn, some of it simply befalls us. If we stuff it away in a closet and refuse to deal with it, it stinks. When we bring it out in the open and deal with it with prayer, God, and surrounded by the supportive body of Christ, it turns from a stinking pile of shit, to the fertilizer that helps promote growth. Some may be offended by the word, but we all know what it is when we step in it. If your life smells bad, it is most likely because you are either unaware of what you have stepped in or are thinking you are better at hiding it that everyone else in the whole world. Once you become aware of what is stinking up your life (which sometimes takes the community) then you can deal with it through prayer and help. When you do that, you grow, when you don't, you stink.
