A man who thought he had lung cancer went to a doctor; rather than being diagnosed with cancer, a physician found a pea growing inside him.

Ron Sveden, a 75 year-old from Massachusetts, is the man who had a pea sprouting in his lung. Sveden’s symptoms of fatigue, coughing and a loss of appetite were caused by a single pea that “went to the wrong place and sprouted.” Thankfully the sprouted pea has been removed and Sveden is recovering.

Speaking of peas and growth, how are you doing? Are you “growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18)? Are some things “growing” (sprouting) in your life that need to be removed? Make sure you have the “right things” growing in the “right places.”
