Watching the aquaponic bed grow and develop has been fascinating.  The “mystery plant” can be seen in the lower left in the pot.  It is huge now.  For those who didn’t catch the previous posts on our desktop aquaponic experiment, we have a mystery on our hands.  In the pot we used to plant our thyme seeds, several mystery plants emerged instead of our sought after thyme.  It looked enough like a tomato that I wanted to save the largest one to see what develops.  I also kept in the medium sized specimen in the aquaponic bed in the corner near the window.  This plant has now caught up to, if not surpassed, the largest mystery plant that we transplanted back into the pot.  Not only has it caught up in size, but it is now sporting numerous, small, yellow, bell shaped flowers which, if I’m not mistaken, could still indicate that these mystery plants are tomatoes.  I sure hope so.  We will then have a nice jump on at least a couple of tomato plants this year.

1 Corinthians 15:35-38
Some skeptic is sure to ask, “Show me how resurrection works. Give me a diagram; draw me a picture. What does this ‘resurrection body’ look like?” If you look at this question closely, you realize how absurd it is. There are no diagrams for this kind of thing. We do have a parallel experience in gardening. You plant a “dead” seed; soon there is a flourishing plant. There is no visual likeness between seed and plant. You could never guess what a tomato would look like by looking at a tomato seed. What we plant in the soil and what grows out of it don’t look anything alike. The dead body that we bury in the ground and the resurrection body that comes from it will be dramatically different.
