Proper 20
Luke 16: 1-13

Gaze .on an old B-movie of cowboys and Indians. The Wells Fargo stagecoach gallops over the barren Wild West of America. It has been ambushed and the driver has been shot by the bandits; he is slumped over and has dropped the reins. He can steer the coach no longer. There is a chance of safety if the horses keep together. But they dash along the rocky road and in their panic their harness snaps. They career off in different directions – one veers to the left while the other dashes to the right. Now all hope is lost. The stagecoach is heading for disaster and soon crashes to the ground. The passengers tumble out, their bones broken, heads concussed, and their luggage strewn across the hillside. The journey has ended in disaster. They will ever
reach their destination now...
