Sunday of Lent I - Division
Recently the newspapers carried the story of a man who boarded a bus with the full intention and desire of going to Detroit, but when at the end of a long trip he alighted at the destination, he found himself, not in Detroit, but in Kansas City. He had caught the wrong bus. Something like that goes on habitually in human life. People on the whole desire good things and find themselves somewhere else altogether! …The Prodigal Son did not start out for a swine pasture.
Harry Emerson Fosdick, A Concise History of Preaching by Paul Scott Wilson, 1992
