Out of Town Christians
By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/25/10
Psalm 27:1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (KJV)
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Except when I’m gone or on a vacation.
That’s my time to rest and work all the kinks out.
I’m sure God will see me as still quite devout.
It’s the Lord’s Day and I should be in church.
But I’m just too tired to do the research.
I’m out of town and don’t know where to go.
So I‘ll just sleep in and be a no-show.
I’m faithful at home, well most of the time.
Except when golf season is full in its prime.
You’ve got to keep with it if you want to improve.
Surely now and then God won’t disapprove.*
I can worship God while out here in nature.
He sees it that way of that I’m quite sure.
No one will miss me in my empty pew.
I’ll be back next week when vacation is through.
* Hebrews 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much
the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (KJV)
