Welcome to a different kind of Redemption’s Table.  Normally our episodes are for everybody, but today’s story is particularly addressed to American Christians.  It’s a sojourn to a forgotten place that begins with a forgotten harvest – and harvest and Thanksgiving usually go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision begins in a field of corn in a high mountain meadow.  A harvest has come and gone, and not a single ear has been picked.  Such neglect raises curiosity.  How can this be?  Suddenly, a man dressed as a Mexican peasant emerges from the parched stalks and a mysterious journey begins.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every American Christian needs to consider the questions raised by today’s imaginative parable that was first shared 25 years ago.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special thank you to my good friend Jeff Gore – a singer-songwriter who has been involved in cowboy ministry before there ever was such a thing as a cowboy church.  His songs “We Gather Together to Pray” and “Who’s Gonna Tell Them” are used by permission.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
