Arlette Miller – The prodigal son thought that spending money freely would bring him happiness and freedom. Only when the money ran out did he realize the truth. Money does not buy happiness. If money is spent wisely, it can provide a measure of freedom.

Clint Mercer – When reading the passage, my mind just got stuck on how lonely the walk back to his father’s house must have been for the prodigal son. His mind and body, weak from hunger, just looking forward to being his father’s servant, and playing back in his mind how he had broken his father’s heart. Not knowing what his father’s response would be, he was only hoping for mercy and grace.

Betty Dortch Russell McMath – The prodigal son, who has wasted his life in riotous living, far away, is just returning home. The hard working older brother, who greets the prodigal, is forgiving. The father who is seeing from afar, celebrates that his son is alive. He forgives the wasteful son and goes forward to greet him. Harmony was being established and loving-kindness has won out for each of the three men.

Patricia McCarroll – The unconditional love and forgiveness of the father for the son can be seen in “FORGIVEN.” The son left home to live life by his own rules, but in the end, he finds only disappointment and hunger for what he had known. This is a picture of God’s love and mercy toward us. May we continually hunger for Him and praise Him for who He is!

Bryan Massey – “The Welcoming” is based upon the prodigal son being welcomed back home by his father. He kneels down before his father to ask for forgiveness and to work as a servant, but his father is so overwhelmed with joy that his son is alive and has returned home, he cloaks him with compassion and welcomes him back with unconditional love.

Bryan Massey – “Father, Forgive Me” is based upon the return of the prodigal son to his father. He grabs and embraces his father with both hands around his head as his father envelopes him with love and compassion. The sculpture gives an abstract form of one body with the two forms emerging to indicate the “blood line” between the father and son that cannot be broken.

Denise Luft – As the parents of two daughters, we very much had a “girl house.” After our boys were born in 2000 and 2002, my husband has had a chance to resurrect a side of himself that had been packed away in college and early adulthood. The little boy that collected football cards on the front porch had been all but lost and now has been found.
The Prodigal

Maria Liebeck – Who is the true prodigal in this parable? Is it the son who has been reckless, headstrong, selfish, and wanton? Is it the father whose loving heart overflowed with forgiveness and super abundant compassion? The mother rejoices in the father’s welcome. The brother refuses to share even his father’s love. Down with the pigs, the son laments his foolish mistake as does the woman who realizes she has already lost him.
