This week I was leaving a local business establishment when I heard a song that has always spoken to me. I’ve never owned a copy of this song and I can’t tell you who wrote or sings it but I have to stop and listen when ever I hear it.

The songs title is Walking In Memphis and the line that seems to haunt me is late in the song when the writer has been ask to play a few songs at a church gathering.

… and I played with all my might

She said, child are you a Christian

And I said, Ma’am I am to night

Now some might find that offensive and I can understand why. We are Christians or we’re not. The idea of being a Christian on occasion rather then all the time is offensive to those who have taken up their cross, but on the other hand I know the feeling. Sometime I really feel like a Christian and some times I don’t. Some times the power flows through you like 40 knot gulf coast wind and sometimes Christianity feels dry and dull and lifeless. I love those times when I feel it and I get through those times I don’t.

May there be more of “those nights” in your life and mine.
