The story of the talents can also attest to the idea of reward or responsibility in heaven.

Matt 25:14-28
"For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, "Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.' "His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' ""Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, "Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.' ""His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.' "And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, "Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.' "But his master answered and said to him, "You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. "Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. "Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'

He says he will put him (the slave) in charge of many things. This applies to the age to come. If we are faithful with the things He has given us, He will put us in charge of more things. These things will be revealed in the age to come.

Oh, Jones will have the roof finished. Unlike Landry, Jones doesn't care if God wants to watch the Cowboys. ;o)

Does he really want a dome? The bane of true sports everywhere. I say let's play the Super Bowl in State College in January and separate the men from the boys. Sissy boy Southern teams don't want to play in real man's weather. Can't run the West Coast offense in Buffalo in December. You can run the Bus. The Houston Oilers couldn't make it to the Super Bowl in the 70s cause they couldn't win in 3 Rivers in January.

Have you seen this months Texas Monthly? Cover story is "Is Jerry Jones the Devil?"

Surprisingly, there's not a lot of newsstands that carry that journal here. But, yes, Jerry Jones is the Devil. He makes Al Davis seem like a team player.
