seeds

geronimo is the name of the missionary from africa that i met last weekend at church. he showed a short video where 2 men killed a woman. apparently she had seen a man without his spiritual mask so she had to be killed. the 2 men put a rope around her neck and walked in opposite directions and with a sharp snap of the rope they broke her neck. while her young son looked on. the next picture was one of a group of men, husband, brothers and sons. the mom was dead and there were no other women. when the son grew up he became a leader in the village and made changes. missionaries came to his village and he became a christian as did most of the people in his village.

geronimo said that when blood is spilled for Christ that a seed is planted. i wonder how many people who have lost someone dear to them have grown from those seeds. God did start us in a garden.
