He was supposed to speak at church that Sunday,
But the car ran out of gas
Some distance from the sanctuary.
What else was there to do
But push it?
A member of the congregation called to him
As he passed a filling station.
“Why do you not stop and fill up?”
“Oh, no,” he said. “I’m much too late.
That would take too much time.”
Of course, this would never happen.
But do we, perhaps, perversely persist
In pushing the car in our own strength
Instead of stopping to refuel?
