Good ending, Spencer! I perfectly agree.

And that reminds me of a parable, one from which so many seem to have not taken heed. Christ told of an injured man, robbed and beaten by highwaymen, and left for dead. A faithful man came by, one who went to temple every week and observed the sabbath, but ignored the man by the side of the road. A rabbi came by, perhaps thinking of or rehearsing his next sermon, too busy of mind to help someone in need. But someone scorned by the House of Judah, not allowed to worship at the temple, came along and helped the man to an inn, and paid for his room and meals.

Of course, that man was the Good Samaritan. I believe what some forget is the lesson from the parable. The lesson to be learned was that THAT man, who was not a Jew, at a time when Jews thought that only Jews would get to Heaven in the end of days, was more likely to be welcomed into the Kingdom of God than all the self-righteous and the rabbis.
