Last week we said good-bye to the girls in Rome and headed back to Tuscany where we stayed for the week at Spannochia, an 800 year old villa that’s also a working vineyard and farm. Fascinating stuff sitting down to dinner and talking to the college interns who work here and people from all over the world who visit.
Besides making wine and olive oil, they also make prosciutto, and salami.
On this farm everything is in the process of being changed from one thing to something else.
They literally have a room called THE TRANSFORMATION ROOM where pigs become prosciutto.
I’m not kidding.
It made me think about Ortberg saying we’re all in the process of being transformed into SOMETHING. The question is what?
Are the relationships, experiences, and practices of my life transforming me into someone who looks more like Jesus?
Or something …more pig-like?
Honestly it may depend on the day. But I’m trying to pay closer attention.
