So why would a pedant like me (not 'I') choose a made-up word for the title of my blog?
My instinct in life has been to find a good opportunity and seek my fortune in a strange and distant land.
That's not how it's worked out though. Commitments, pressures and kindness has meant that staying rooted has made the most sense for me and Adele.
Psalm 1 describes the righteous man as 'like a tree planted by streams of water'. Jesus is the true Israel, the tree into which the Church is grafted. And we are trees ourselves, planted by streams of living water providing our spiritual sustenance.
Sometimes, staying right where you are is the best thing to do.
Given the right location, a tree need only grow deep, thick roots and it will grow tall, strong and healthy.
