Reflection on Mark 4:27
by the Rev Wanda Copeland

For an experiment in high school Biology class, I planted several bean seeds in soil, and watered them all.  In a few days each one of them sprouted.  Although the experiment was meant to show how different plants in the same family responded to various fertilizers, for me the greatest wonder was that through no fault or credit of mine the seeds germinated.  From an insignificant, pale, seemingly lifeless seed came an entire plant that grew two feet tall and produced seeds of its own. To this day, I still do not know what makes those seeds grow.
