How are you using your talent?

Today in church the preacher talked about the Parable of the Talents.  Matthew 25:14-30 My interpretation is: The master went away, but before he went he gave one slave 5 talents (in those days, a talent was a monetary unit), 1 slave two talents and 1 slave 1 talent.  The guy with 5 and 2…
