"The king forgave 1.3 billion dollars"

On Tuesday morning Parables class taught by Brother Knowles, we talked
about two parables, the creditor forgiving the debtors found in Luke 7
and the King forgiving his servants debts found in Matthew 18.  Our
discussions in class are always insightful and this was no exception.
Brother Knowles had calculated that in our money, the king forgave
over 1.3 billion dollars.  We like the servant can not pay the debt we
owe our father, he knows that and will freely forgive us, when we ask.
The Atonement is there for us to take part in, and instead of trying
to do it ourselves, we need to remember that the Lord is willing to
help us out.

We also had some really great donuts to celebrate William's birthday
that we all freely partook of.
