Parable 10: What of Your Excess
A rich man gathering much from his land
decided to build more barns very grand.
“I have plenty of stuff,
indeed more than enough.
My wine vats and my barns are now crammed.
“I'll make merry in all this splendour.”
“You fool, now your life you'll surrender,
what then of your excess?
just who will it impress?”
Said God, “without a generous agenda.”
Luke 12.16-21
