    If you have ever been in the position of the father in the story, you know the heartbreak, the sleepless nights, the wondering, and the self-reproach. "Where did I fail?" It is agony to await the outcome.

So he told them this parable: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ...read more
