The "activity" of a garden is hardly a frenzy of activity intended to add more plants. And the parable of the sower, I heard a few weeks ago in church, is less about the sower and more about how absurd it is that the seed of the gospel, no matter where the moron sower "flangs" it, grows--which says a hell of a lot more about the seed and the One who makes it grow than the vessel "flanging" the seed in any direction. Mmmm, this is well worth soaking up. Thanks! This is reminiscent to me of “Be still and know that I am God.” The “activity” of a garden is hardly a frenzy of activity intended to add more plants.
