Gospel Sermons For Sundays After Pentecost (First Third) Cycle C
Someone once said: "What goes around comes around." And there is enough anecdotal and historical evidence that one could make the case that it is true.
Historical case in point is the true story of the poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified young boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. The farmer saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
