The Heavy Plow

  The Heavy Plow The Plow upon His shoulder, He walks across the land, The earth spreads open, Behind the steps, Of this man. The Planter of the seed, Pulls the heavy Plow, The ground is rent, Soil bared, His work draws a crowd. Like a beast beneath the yoke, He stumbles in His task, The Plow digs deep, As the crowd around Him laughs. The plow row behind Him, Opens to receive the seed, While men and women rejoice, To see Him on his knees. The Plow again now rises, Here, double yoked, A Cyrenian pressed in service, In this cruel, heartless joke. The heavy Plow upon them, They furrow up the hill, The crowd of endless ages, Laugh at it still. Blood and sweat drip, Watering the row, The seeds begin to spring, In the garden far below. The heavy Plow is planted, Firmly in the dirt, The work is nearly finished, Of sowing this rebirth. The Planter on the Plow, Looks out upon His work, Though His heart is pierced, He declares it - good. Earth, now turned over, Beneath the heavy Plow, Stands wa

Kurt Update

October 2 - Kurt gave his dad a smile this morning =) (He has a pretty speech therapist...so maybe it was really for her)

October 3rd - Today Kurt will begin being fed by a feeding tube, called a PEG tube. This tube will go directly into his stomach to feed him. This procedure will be happening in a couple of hours. Please continue to pray. Your prayers are helping Kurt heal faster!

Hello Mr. Hahn and Family,

I am a new Catholic blogger and found your blog. I was thinking that it was going to be a place to pray the rosary together.

I was and pleasantly surprised to find out so many similarities between your family and mine!

First, Catholocism (my husban in not though). Life in the country on a farm. A focus and love for our families......and finally, here's the drum roll: OHIO STATE BUCKEYE FANS!

My husband was born and raised in Athens, OH and earned his doctorate in education at OSU.

We ALSO look for buckeyes on our little farm too. However, I have not taken a picture of them like you have.

Since I am not from Ohio, I was surprised that these buckeyes shrivel up a bit!

Anyhow, I will add your blog to my favorite list.

Here are my blogs if you would like to do the same:

and

(La Bella Vita - My blog on faith and beauty in life).

P.S. The Bucks play tonight on t.v. So now we will listen to our old cassette tape of "Script Ohio" to get pepped up!

Bye for now,

Bella!

Bella,
Thanks for the post and welcome to the blog world. There are some great blogs out there. I love Athens and visit often since it is practically in our backyard. Thanks again! Go Bucks!
