If it Grows, It is Good

I am impressed with how much truth Alma 32:32 packs into a simple sentence.
Therefore, if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefore it is cast away.
There’s nothing in there about whether the seed is unblemished or whether it might need some pruning when it grows, or suffer some partial dieback at one point. Nothing at all. If it grows, its good.
Perfection is the destination, not the journey. Enjoy the journey.

. . . Even if it takes 2 months to germinate. I planted some tepary beans back in the beginning of June. A select few pushed their way out of the soil soon enough, but the others took their sweet time, waiting until a series of thunderstorms rolled through last week to finally come up. They look lush and green and beautiful, but I don’t expect much of a harvest (our growing season is moderately short, and the soil is not THAT much better than last year). We’ll see!
