How Roots Root and take Root
Root - The basic cause, source, or origin of something. (Definition Noun)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. - 1 Timothy 6:10 (Family you would do yourselves a Favor and read all of Timothy 6 today please and thank you wow! It ends with (Grace be with you all.) “Grace be with you all!”
When I say, “Root” I would think most people think of a “Tree Root” if you have ever truly looked at, studied or truly examined a tree’s roots you may have felt humbled and honored at the same time what I mean by that is the "Pure Majesty" that is simply a ROOT. Shout out to all the Arborist ValiantVal loves you and lovers of All Things Green! Water those Plants!
Pro Tip - Spring A Head Family and let’s All pray that we can one day stay on this Time Zone and not disrupt our entire lives twice a year please and thank you Lord!
What I think when someone says Roots…
- Plants - The root system takes in oxygen, water and nutrients from the soil, to move them up through the plant to the stems, leaves and blooms. Roots often store the energies created by the plant through photosynthesis, to make them available to the plant as it is needed. (Wow Family Mic Drop… I want to reread that I need you to back me up 15 seconds and hear that again, thinking that we Human Doings are those plants please and thank you)
- Tree Roots Allowing Offensives to take Root - Stoney Hearts, Hard Hearted Deep and Wide Roots allowing those Roots to Root the longer they Grow the longer they will Grow, how easy that happens today don’t allow that to be your Story Family
- Alex Haley’s movie Roots - Aired on TV in 1977 I was 8 years old and of course my Mother sat me down and had “The Talk” if you are a person of color you already know what that looks like and insisted that we watch the movie together. I am crying now as I go back to that 8 year old that also played Suzy in the school play at Nazarene Christian School “I Like The Sound Of America” and how she was traumatized at how Humans could treat other Humans in that manner. (It is our TRUE History so it must be Told period point blank or we maybe doomed to repeat it Humans forget) The team put out a video called “Crushing It” that talks about that play a bit more I will bring to the top of our social space later today please take a look, thank you. Pro Tip: Have “The Talk” (no matter their color) with your children and watch the 1977 Roots Movie with them this might actually start a National conversation that might move the needle in all the right ways!
