Unless the Seed Dies...

The snow is melting and we are getting closer to Spring and new life springing from the cold ground.  I have a vase of Daffodils on the kitchen counter and their yellow brightness cheers me up a bit.  It's Friday and I'm still working on Sunday's sermon.  I've procrastinated by making a loaf of bread. I went to the hardware store and bought a number of packets of seeds, some for food and some for flowers.  One idea I have is on how seeds disseminate:  by wind, water, hitch hiking, by being swallowed and dropped, and by explosion.  And of course there is the work of fire that helps some seeds spread.  Still don't have a coherent picture in my mind as to how all this is going to work out.
