Looking at the story you find that the Prodigal was basically a story of an attitude in desperate need of a change. He says in one verse "Give me the portion of mine inheritance that belongs to me" and then just a few verses (and a whole lot of misery later) he comes back and says, "I'm not worthy to be called a son... just make me as one of thy hired servants."
The message was simply titled, "The Long Hard Road from GIVE me to MAKE me".

Elder, sounds like it will be one awesome message tomorrow!!!!
BTW, I believe it was you, just a few years ago, who preached a tremendous message about forgiveness here in Oregon at our District Family Camp.
