Plant seed in stony ground and only the strong survive. "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." [Proverbs 22:6]
What did John Winchester raise from stony ground? Two sons grown in the wilderness; one rebellious, one too damaged to be alone but full of love.
Train up a child in the way he should go or ignore him. Let the plant grow in its own way, searching for sunlight but full of grief. Saint, sinner, killer or hero, who knows what path he will take?
