Life: For the fire (week 5,33/365,shinsato)

"Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." (Matthew 7:19). These trees didn't bear good fruit that anyone could eat, but the wood sure is good to keep my office warm. It's good exercise using the maul to split the wood into smaller pieces. It does make me think about how my life will be useful, whether or not I bear fruit. But I suspect the fruit route is a lot better than the flames. There're some good clues in the scary stories in the Bible to get on the straight and narrow path to producing good fruit of the spirit. And I guess my firewood is a daily reminder.
