Night, heading home in the dark ....
Dark, heading home into the night.
Not noticing bats and street lights….
Not noticing the lights of the oncoming
cars…. It was a long, long day.
It was a long, long meeting - dealing
It was a long, long meeting - dealing
with Church - budget -
business.
All I want to do is to get home,
to receive communion, holy communion,
in the hug of my wife - and the joy
of my kids - and a hot cup of tea -
and I hope pecan pie - that is, if….
if that last slice is still there.
It was there before I left, but when
coming home, you never know. It’s
always the surprise and the unexpected.
