Gift of Forgiveness

In Our Daily Bread David Roper uses the imagery of plowing a field for the first time--how it churns up the larger stones and then each pass of the plow over the same ground reveals more and more rocks.  One hundred years ago our property had been farmland.  It has become wooded in the ensuing years, but the piles of rocks along the perimeter where the farmer threw the rocks he'd plowed up are still there. . . .
