They have no ability at all to travel great distances under their own power, and yet, they do travel. Even they don't have to just sit in one place and wait to be wiped out. There are islands thousands of miles from anywhere——the Hawaiian Islands, for example, and Easter Island——where plants seeded themselves and grew long before any humans arrived. I am Earthseed. Anyone can be. Someday, I think there will be a lot of us.
And I think we'll have to seed ourselves farther and farther from this dying place. There was another robbery last night——or an attempted robbery. I wish that was all. No garden theft this time. Three guys came over the wall and crowbarred their way into the Cruz house. The Cruz family, of course, has loud burglar alarms, barred windows, and security gates at all the doors just like the rest of us, but that doesn't seem to matter.
When people want to come in, they come in. Maybe Olivar is the future——one face of it. Cities controlled by big companies are old hat in science fiction. My grandmother left a whole bookcase of old science fiction novels. The company-city subgenre always seemed to star a hero who outsmarted, overthrew, or escaped "the company. In real life, that's the way it will be. That's the way it is. I'm trying to speak——to write——the truth. I'm trying to be clear. I'm not interested in being fancy, or even original.
Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them. If it happens that there are other people outside somewhere preaching my truth, I'll join them. Otherwise, I'll adapt where I must, take what opportunities I can find or make, hang on, gather students, and teach.
I have to write. There's nothing familiar left to me but the writing. God is Change. I hate God. Some kind of insane burn-the-rich movement, Keith had said. We've never been rich, but to the desperate, we looked rich. We were surviving and we had our wall. Did our community die so that addicts could make a help-the-poor political statement?
If we're a good pack, and we work together, we have a chance. You can be sure we aren't the only pack out here. God is frightening. Best to learn to cope. I'm still growing into it myself.
All the more reason to create Earthseed communities and shape God together. After all, my heaven really exists, and you don't have to die to reach it. God is neither good nor evil, neither loving nor hating. God is Power. We must find the rest of what we need within ourselves, in one another, in our Destiny. So today we remembered the friends and the family members we've lost.
We spoke our individual memories and quoted Bible passages, Earthseed verses, and bits of songs and poems that were favorites of the living or the dead. Then we buried our dead and we planted oak trees. Afterward, we sat together and talked and ate a meal and decided to call this place Acorn. A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And others fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit an hundredfold. Login Close. Join Us Forgot your password?

Christy felt that this is what God wanted her to do so she began to go with this group and help these young children with their homework. After they helped the children with the homework they had a time to share a short Bible story. After the Bible story the children would hear the Good News that Jesus loved them and died for their sins.
The week that Christy told the story and shared the Good News a little boy came to her after class and told her that he wanted to be saved. Christy prayed with the boy and he accepted Jesus as his Savior. Let them decide which person fits best for each soil. Are you the hard soil? Are you like the rocky ground? At one point in your life you were excited about reading your Bible and praying each day. You used to invite friends to Awana but when you started getting called names for being a Christian you stopped inviting.
You are easily bored with the Bible have stopped growing as a Christian. Are you like the seed growing among the thorns? Do you let everything else keep you from loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength? Are you more interested in sports, friends, games etc.?
Or is your heart soft and tender towards God and His voice that when you hear His Words you try hard to listen and obey so that you can grow into a stronger Christian every day? As you do this you grow stronger every day. By hearing and obeying His Word you will find that it is easier to say no to sin.
You will want to please God and share Jesus with others. This kind of life will be a fruitful life and God will be pleased. Before you pray be still and allow the students a few minutes to think about the questions you just asked.
