I knew it: I knew it. I blew it. When will I ever learn? When will I ever admit that one man's meat ,is another man's poison? That 'one man's steak is another man's hamburg? I'm talking about that dressing down I gave that preacher last week. Remember? I didn't like his kind of fare, so I let the collection plate slide right on past me. t I kept my money in my pocket, And while I was keeping my cents, everyone else was losing theirs --to 'that packed a piled high offering plate. When I talked to some of the people later, I realized that they were making sense out of what I called no-sense. There I was --- defending the Gospel. Insisting that what I need is God's love and mercy n of all those rules Of do-•this, do-that and don-t-do-this-other-thing. I can't suffer all those warnings and pleas, all those admonitions to keep on the straight and narrow Way, I was standing up for the Gospel. The Good Spell. The God Spell, The Good News. I was taking a stand, You Cotildn't say I Was one of those church people who didn't stand up 'for; anything, One woman sniffed to nie that the church is so Wishy, washy, the'people Stand up for only one thing nowadays: That's when the minister reads the Gospel lesson for the day from the lectern. I wasn't going to ntitilber myself in that lot. I was willing'o take my stand, Notf of course, on the side of the law'. I was standing up for the Gospel. • .• But I fell down. For in talking to those people I realized they were thriving on. the law. One man told me he's been brought up all his life on this love, peace, and forgive bit. He's sated with this sweet talk. He's had an excess. A surfeit. And don't 'I know that too much of anything -- even a good thing -- dulls the appetite? He says the preachers have taken the steak, chewed it ; mulled it, minced it, worked it until they've ground it down into hamburg. The Gosepl is plain old hamburg to him. - What.he really,wants and needs is a piece of steak, Bring him the law. Lay out the straight and narrow path. Build up the curbs of the law so people won't Veer' off. Set up the warning signals. The stop signs. The no signs. Bring out the police. Bring on law and order. That's What people want: That's what people need. "It's this kind of steak, this kind otlaw," he says, can sink my teeth into. I can taste it. Feel it. Digest it. It sticks to my rib's. It makes me go. It makes me What did I tell you? My steak is his poison. And his kind of Good News is my bad news. When will I ever learn? We all can't stomach the same kind of food. And despite our different diets, there should be room for both of tis at God's great banquet table. But still wary, There's such a thing as fetid poisoning', It might taste good going " down, 1301 I 4 't" dead at the end.
