I Am That Important
I could stay at home and get some more sleep… because, you know, it’s that important.
I could stay at home and watch some TV… because, you know, it’s that important.
I could sleep a little later, then make a special breakfast… because, you know, it’s that important.
I stay at home, wake up later, make a light breakfast, then take a morning jog when there’s no rush… because, you know, it’s that important.
Or, I could just ignore the needs of my fellow believers; I could assume I’m never missed and my absence makes no difference; and I could just brush aside any biblical commands while I hold God hostage to my demands… because, you know, I am that important.
I am… kinda has a nice ring to it, you think?
Yeah, who needs to go to church on Sunday morning, anyway? Especially when I AM the one I worship the rest of the week.

I just sat down at my computer this morning to check a couple of things, and that’s when it came to me. It started out to be a poem, but then changed. Of course, it might be poetry for all I know. And good morning to you, too =)

I really appreciate the part that my decision to NOT go to church has implications for other people, in the sense that what I have to offer is not available.

Yep, and if people could only understand the depths of discouragement the rippling effects of their absence can bring. If they only knew how desperately discouraged a pastor can become, they’d come for his benefit if nothing else.

I’m thinking that should be one of the personal stipulations going to making a decision whether or not to join a particular congregation, ie, that my presence and participation really does effect the pastor as well.
