Reaping What We Sow

Here is a parable, possibly true, that I enjoyed. My source was Erik Peterson.

Several years after inventing radar, Sir Robert Watson Watt was arrested in Canada for speeding. He'd been caught in a radar trap.

Later, he wrote this poem:

PITY SIR ROBERT WATSON WATT
STRANGE TARGET OF HIS RADAR PLOT,
AND THIS, WITH OTHERS I COULD MENTION,
A VICTIM OF HIS OWN INVENTION.

Paul said something similar:

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows (Gal. 6:7).
