A Day Away
Last Sunday we spent the weekend in Mannheim with Rhein River Baptist Church. Every year they have a Christmas banquet for the misssionaries in Europe. It is a wonderfully refreshing time.

Twas the first day away in almost a year
And all the sheep and pastor were filled with ,well… not quite, fear.
Preparations were made for the day as it drew near
Knowing that the time with Jesus would be, oh, so dear.
As the day dawned all arrived a bit early
With last minute arrangements to complete in a hurry.
The pastor called long distance only to find
The sheep were all busy which calmed his concerned mind.
With his thoughts of disaster all vanquished
He returned to the service to have his soul replenished.
The first time in a year to sit with his wife,
To enjoy a sermon about death and endless life.
After the sermon to his joy he discovered
The Spirit of God had ensured the service was covered.
