How Is My Dirt?

42 Episode – How Is My Dirt?

In the parable of the sower, seeds fall in different kinds of soil and Jesus talks about what happens to the seeds in each area. What we don’t hear about is what happens to the soil after that? Does it stay the same? Does it change so that the next time seeds come it will be ready? I guess that’s really only something each of us can decide for ourselves.
