A Walk Through the Parables: The Banquet

A Walk through the parablesI am a pretty social person.

On a scale of 1-10, I would say I fall somewhere around a 12.

I remember in middle school we were writing our “Newsletter” and did a survey of our tiny student body of their favorite “after school snack.” There was one write-in vote for “Leftovers.” Fortunately for me,  the surveys were anonymous and when everyone literally laughed out loud at the ridiculousness (practicality?) of the thought, I never owned up that twas I who wrote that as my favorite snack.
