The Prodigal Son

[Catholic_Lady]

First off, Thank you to everyone who has responded so far!

Something tells me that you might be a parent! =)

1) Agreed. This is certainly a turning point. The job he found sucks pretty bad, and the way that "master" treats his employees doesn't even match the dignity of a hired worker, much less a human being. This reminds the son of how well his father treated his employees: "If I can't be his son anymore, maybe I could at least work for my dad as anyone else does." The better-job-*somewhere*, the son concludes, is his dad's place.

2) Exactly. 

3) HA!

You might be right there. What do you think about the father telling the loyal son, "My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours."? Too little too late or an affirmation that the father shares more than just a fattened calf with him?

Now here is a strange response to the story! =) Any thoughts about the story you already knew?

Thanks, Chad!

I note you left out my reading. Is that because it struck too close to the bone?

Lol, I don't think so....
