When you reap the harvest of your land, do not
reap to the very edges of your field or gather
the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over
your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes

"Tell me what you think of this story A man had
two sons. He went up to the first and said, 'Son,
go out for the day and work in the vineyard.'
 "The son answered, 'I don't want to.' Later on
he thought better of it and went.  "The father
gave the same command to the second son. He
answered, 'Sure, glad to.' But he never went.
 "Which of the two sons did what the father

whores believed him. Even when you saw their
changed lives, you didn't care enough to change
and believe him. Mt. 21.28-32
