MATTHEW, Chapter 13:24-30

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

#14 is a remarkable painting when seen in color.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You've caught me redhanded, Alba. I had that painting in yesterday's thread on The Sower.

How can I ever show my face in public again? Oh, wait--this is an online forum where we don't show our faces! OK, then, back in business.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[etabeta]

Yes, I remembered it from yesterday. The black and white print does not do the painting justice. Who says we cannot enjoy pictures twice? Even when they don’t go with the text!!! LOL. We will not send you to the corner in shame, we are a very forgiving bunch!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi

[BenLurkin]

These are wonderful threads. Thank you for your hard work in preparing and posting them.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you from the bottom of my image-repeating heart. Mercy is godlike.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Entirely my pleasure, Ben. So glad you're enjoying them.

Dan

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

You are mentioned in the J-Thread today. Just to let you know.

(((In a GOOD way, of course!)))

[Hebrews 11:6]

They’re closing in! Who ARE these guys, anyway?

[Albion Wilde]

Love #18!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I hope it goes without saying that you should stay away from that guy.

[etabeta]

He keeps trying, doesn’t he? In Italian we would say “Pussa via”! (Scat, go away - used with annoying or evil persons - it depends on the tone of voice)

[Hebrews 11:6]

“Scat!” is what I say to cats. They’ve spread the word and pretty much avoid me now—but I’m well aware the devil and his henchmen are not so easily dissuaded.

[etabeta]

What do you have against cats? They are great pets, at one time we had 9...a wonderful study of feline personalities. They are like babies, the more you nurture them, the more they respond. I could tell you stories of my kitties!

[Albion Wilde]

Love the painting, not the protagonist. The yellow color gives it a really screechy, alarming feel. Very excellent primitive expression!

[Albion Wilde]

Ma, si—vai via!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Spare me--anything but that! By the way, I am informed that we are saved by grace through faith plus nothing--not by grace through faith plus tolerating, much less liking, cats. I took my wife to see the musical "Cats," with Eliot's cracked theology, which was an ordeal for me.

Here is the ultimate cat story, courtesy of Dr. Hugh Ross, who was an eyewitness at CalTech when he was a professor there in the '70s.

There was a graduate student who brought his adult tigress to school daily. She attended his classes with him and laid near the instructor, watching everyone. Her favorite part of the day was laying on the grass at lunchtime, when a dozen preschoolers crawled and climbed all over her. She hated leaving for the day--he literally had to push her into the van.
