Here's another challenge for all of us showing weed pulling tendancies. The article Robin links to says this: "What they think is a weed—sure looks like a weed!—is actually the crop. Biblical scholars have pointed out that Jesus is likely referring to the bearded darnel—a plant that looks a lot like wheat when it is just starting to grow. A farmer could easily pull up wheat, mistaking it for the darnel." Check out this picture, is it Wheat or Darnel? http://tinyurl.com/59qbn9 Interesting link Robin – I like the fact that towards the end of the article the author suggests we should be ‘sowers’ rather than ‘weed pullers’.

God will decide what's weeds in due time and deal with it accordingly. But better watch out in case you're after the wrong enemy! I found this quite interesting on the subject:
