Screamin' Plants

During our "Saturday Morning Cartoon Extravaganza" this morning, me and little man watched Beakman's World. While Beakman was answering viewer questions, he stumbled across one that asked, "Do plants really make noise when they need water?" His answer was something I had never heard before....YES! I did not know that plants made a high pitched screaming noise when they need water, higher than what we can hear, almost like a dog whistle or something. Maybe I just missed that one during 3rd grade Science class, anyways, just humor me.

Ever been there? Screamin' out, and nobody can hear you. You need relief, but it seems that you are doing nothing more than blowing a whistle that nobody else can hear. This is a common place, not only for leaders, but it seems that this silent scream has found it's way into all of our lives sooner or later. Nobody to talk to, they wouldn't understand, their judgments to much to handle, but the bottom line....if you don't get some water pretty soon, you will die in this desert land we call life.

Thank God for His Son Jesus, that gave us a promise in John 7:37, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink." The only difference between our inner scream and a plants' scream is the simple fact that when we scream out, someone hears us.
