The Flesh is pretty lazy :-}

That is why you need to put the real good stuff at the end of a long letter...

It saves time ... you don't need any parables to keep them from hearing.

1 Samuel 13:19-22 (English-NIV)

19
Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!"
20
So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes and sickles [1] sharpened.
21
The price was two thirds of a shekel [2] for sharpening plowshares and mattocks, and a third of a shekel [3] for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.
22
So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.


The aptness is not transparent......
