No one that I know of likes picking rocks—not even people who have equipment for it. I certainly didn’t like picking rocks out of fields when I was younger—although now I think I should have enjoyed any experience without pain. Several people have been working on getting rocks out of the church grass in preparation for summer mowing and a beautiful yard. Picking rocks out of our lives is not fun either, but we need to pick rocks out of the soil of our lives to be effective and so the beauty of Jesus can shine through us.
