Sweet Potato Salvation

Send us Fan Mail

Brothers and sisters, gather close ‘round this table of remembrance, for I bring you tidings of a root born of clay and sunshine, humble in its shape yet mighty in its gift. The Lord Himself planted the sweet potato in the red earth of Dixie, that His children might endure famine, war, and weary winters with bellies still full. Do not scorn its wrinkled skin, nor turn from its orange flesh, for within lies a sermon sweeter than honey, stronger than the bread of kings.

Hear me now: the sweet potato is no mere tuber — it is salvation wrapped in soil, a balm for the body, a comfort for the soul, a whisper of eternity baked slow in an iron oven. And woe, woe unto the man who forgets the lessons of his grandmother’s table, for he shall hunger in spirit though his pantry be full. But blessed, oh blessed, is the one who breaks open that steaming flesh, who knows the taste of earth and heaven mingled on his tongue.

Come, friends, let us feast on the truth — that the sweet potato is both medicine and memory, both scripture and sustenance, both fire for the bones and balm for the heart. Can I get an Amen?
