Don't be a weed!

I was fortunate to get to go to the home opener of the NOK Hornets. NOK being New Orleans and Oklahoma City combined but that's a different blog at a different blog time anyway (that was for Luke) there was a man holding up a sign wanting to legalize marijuana (weed) saying that this would stop gang activity. I guess he was thinking this worked back in the day with Capone and Prohibition. It's already scary with people drinking and driving. How about people someone wacked out on drugs driving.
Just listen to Nancy Reagan and say no to drugs.

I think the guy holding the sign was actually a rep. from the snack food industry trying to raise sales.

Ok, I'm getting to a point in all this rambling. The other day I was listening to the Bible (I did say listening to the Bible. Yes, I'm reading impaired not that I can't read, it's just doing it is the problem. I'm losing focus here must finish point.) The other day I was listening to the Bible and I came upon the 13th chapter of Matthew verses 24 thru 30 The Parable of the Weeds and verses 36 thru 43 The Parable of the Weeds Explained and I thought of the man with the sign who actually in all honesty probably wanted to smoke weed and not go to jail than actually caring about gangs and their activities.

The irony is if he doesn't change his ways that he'll probably be a smoked weed.


The Parable of the Weeds
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27"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?'
28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let 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.' "

The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
DON'T BE A WEED!
