Do you ever find yourself reading a book or watching a movie and everything is going along great and then there is some big misunderstanding and everything falls apart? I find myself yelling at the TV screen….”Just go ask them!” Alas! No one ever does and there is a whole chapter of turmoil because of it.

All it Needs is a Little Miracle-Gro!
We all know what Miracle-Gro is. You use it in your veggie garden, flower garden and even your lawn to get bigger and better plants. Miracle-Gro boasts that if you use it (as Directed) you can grow plants twice as big! Double the yield, that’s quite the improvement! Jesus and the New Testament uses a lot of agricultural analogies.
