Preacher's Piece

When I was in high school I used to envy the kids who lived in town because there was always enough people in the neighborhood where they could round up a few of them to play baseball or basketball or whatever sport they felt like playing at any given time. I also envied them because on game nights (real high school games) they would go home after school, eat a little something for supper and then all they had to do was wait around and get ready for the big game.

In contrast, being a farm kid, I had to hurry home on game days, change into my barn clothes, grab something to eat on my way out...
