Shared Tomatoes

Shared Tomatoes gathers stories of the sacred ordinary—moments of generosity, healing, humor, and quiet grace in everyday life.

These reflections were written for any reader who longs to slow down and notice what is already present.

Begin Here

My wife loves homegrown tomatoes, but the past few years have been unkind to her garden. The harsh West Texas weather made growing these treasures nearly impossible. Thankfully, a kind friend from church stepped in to help. Growing tomatoes — both in the blazing sun and in his hothouse — is his passion. For years now, he’s shared his harvest with us, ensuring that my wife (and I) could still enjoy these homegrown gems.
