Prodigal Definition

Well, on my quiz I put down my definition as wayward. I had forgotten to look it up but lucky for me, Mr. K went over the definition in class. He doesn't collect quizzes; he gives us a folder at the beginning of class that has our assignments in it and we put any finished assignments back into it. Whew!!

I wonder how many preachers really know the meaning.

For anyone that hasn't already gone and looked it up, dictionary.com says:

1. Rashly or wastefully extravagant: prodigal expenditures on unneeded weaponry; a prodigal life.

2. Giving or given in abundance; lavish or profuse: prodigal praise.

3. One who is given to wasteful luxury or extravagance
