Seeds

I have a black thumb. Indoor plants are a problem for me. That’s why I have silk flowers in my house. They look realistic. But they don’t require water, don’t wilt, and require minimal maintenance.

Last year I purchased a Garden Tower. What was I thinking! I would have to start vegetable seeds indoors. Would they grow? Given my track record, this was iffy. I was so relieved when 50 seeds sprouted and could be transplanted outside. The summer rain and my garden hose kept the soil in the tower moist. In a few weeks I had delicious homegrown food. 

Jesus said that people are like seeds. And that presents a problem for us. Seeds illustrate the tension between losing life and gaining life, between living and dying. This 41-minute presentation follows seeds through the Bible, unearthing the tension they symbolize.
