The Parable of the Weedy Yard

Patterned after the Savior's style of teaching, this parable is an insight into the law of sowing and reaping. For those who struggle, it is a how-to for overcoming addiction, as well as media overload - two problems prevalent in society today. The weeds in this parable may also serve as a metaphor for stumbling blocks in life. Feelings like envy, pride, jealousy, bitterness, hatred, or fear may grow and eventually saturate one's life if he is not careful.
