Which soil are you?

I want to be the soil that hears the word, understands it, doesn't take offense (of persecution or tribulation), and keeps the weeds of life (cares of the world, deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things) plucked out! You see, in Mark 4 all four soil types HEARD the word, but it was what they did after that that made the difference. The first soil heard but didn't understand. The second heard but became offended when trial and persecution came. The third heard, began to produce fruit but was choked out by more attention being given to (1)the cares of this world,(2) deceitfulness of riches, and (3)desires for other things. BUT The fourth accepts the word and bears fruit....he meditates on it (muttering, repeating, and pondering) continually that he may be a doer of it allowing it to transform him!! God has given the seed, are we doing our part with the soil?? :)

Kids say the cutest things...

So we were sitting there chatting after dinner and David tells this joke about how some men figured out how to make man so they talked with God and told him they should get equal rights since they too know how to make man. He says go ahead, you say you can do this, sure I'll share my power with you if you can. So the men scoop up a pile of dirt and God stops them saying wait, you have to make your own dirt, I made that! David then has to explain to the kids about how since God made EVERYTHING how can we create anything God hasn't given us. He then questioned the kids, "Right? What is anything we can have that God hasn't given us?" to that, Caleb replied, "A spirit of fear."

Can you tell what scripture we've covered alot in our home?
