So it's a good story

After Luke 15:11-32

So it’s a good story

with a rather pointy point:

forgive the lost who are found

forgive the lost who were never lost

   in the first place, except within

   themselves.

The need was the save both

   From themselves

One knew it,

one didn’t

In the years that passed,

   one learned

   one didn’t

one embraced grace

one embraced works

Two prodigals:

take the quiz and

choose one.

The Oscar for best performance

by an actor isn’t

the ticket to heaven.
