<p>In <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8C9Q-Evs80&amp;feature=youtu.be">Mark 4 verse 1 to 20</a> Jesus tells the parable of the sower and the seed that confuses His disciples so much that He has to sit with them later and explain it a little more clearly to them &#8211; and even today it seems we have different ideas of what He was saying or what He could be meaning so i guess it makes sense to wrestle with it and see what makes sense and trust that the Holy Spirit will guide us in the understanding of it &#8211; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8C9Q-Evs80&amp;feature=youtu.be">here are some thoughts i had as i gave it another read&#8230;</a></p>
