Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him
and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Paul's letter to the Colossians, 2: 6-7
We have some bushes in our back yard that have been cut down to the root. It's an eye sore, really, because everything was removed except for the roots. As we walked around the yard surveying everything Saturday night, Jeremy commented on the ugliness of this root-remnant-mess. In good husband fashion, he pledged to remove the roots and dig down deep to get rid of the eye sore, if I wanted him too.
