I wish my sermons could be as intricate, yet orderly and symmetrical, as this spider lily that blooms in our backyard.

I am in seeds and paths and thorns and rocks. Looking to find a new way to see this parable so thinking along the lines of roots…the roots that the sowers (i.e. point a finger at oneself) possess.
