Our new assignment from yesterday's formation/Bible class was to write our own parable. We are also to read several passages of scripture from both the Hebrew scriptures and the New Testament. So here goes.
The kingdom of God is like a potato.
It has many eyes, yet cannot see.
But once it is planted and cultivated, the eyes will grow and produce enough potatoes to feed many.

I chose the potato because it is a regional crop of the county of Grant in Washington State where I currently reside and where my church is located. Grant County is known as the largest producer of potatoes of any county in the entire United States.
Washington, although a very large producer of apples grows many more kinds of fruits, vegetables, and grains. It has a very important contribution to the US economy. However, the state of Idaho is currently the highest producer of all the states of potatoes. Washington and Wisconsin are behind that as large producers. https://www.statista.com/statistics/382166/us-potato-production-by-state/
Here is your challenge. Write a parable that you would tell about the kingdom of God for your particular region of where you live and/or work.
