If I say instant __________ how would you fill in the blank. Think of 12 ways that you could finish the word instant........ for example.... Instant Messaging, Instant Mashed potatoes.... How did a desire for instant gratification impact the younger son in the verses below? How can a 'I want it all, I want it now, .... and I don't want to work for it' attitude impact our lives today?

A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me." So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe faimne in the land, and he began to be in want. Luke 15:11-14

.......riotous living, prodigal living, reckless living, wild living, loose living........... different translations of the bible have various ways of translating the term prodigal living. What would prodigal living look like in our society, give this some thought before Sunday night as we dive into our second week of A Tale of Two Sons..
