Here's a question...

...As asked by Jesus:

"What do you think?
There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.'
'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go.
Which of the two did what his father wanted?"
--Matthew 21:28-31



I was just thinking about this question today. And I'm not going to use literary technique as a scapegoat. Plain and simple--quite literally in fact--I do not do what the Father wants very often; but I tell Him "I will" just as much.

Of course, I'm not perfect. But I bet Jesus would like me to give heed to His words sometimes. Even the hard ones. Maybe ESPECIALLY the hard ones. So that's what I'm doing right now.
