Re: Matthew 13:44
But to answer your question, I'm not sure which it could be. It is possible to be either one. Since it's Christ that told the parable I at first think the purchaser is Christ. But if I apply it to my life, then it is I that is the purchaser. I'm leaning more toward Christ being the purchaser, but I haven't fully decided enough to vote yet.

Be careful with those bumps, they could cause some trouble with the suspension of that new van.

LOL! Hey I got the drop down racks installed for the ladders. Tomorrow I start with the internal shelving. I can't wait to get it on the road... even if diesel is $4.50 per gallon...

Re: Matthew 13:44
One question we gotta answer:
When did Jesus ever tell us to hide (instead of proclaim) him, or salvation, or the gospel? (if any of them is the treasure of that parable)
