About those golf balls





Sometimes little jewels slip by quickly in Pastor Allen's sermons, but they need to be revisited and meditated on. One such jewel in this past Sunday's message was this quotation from T.S. Eliot:


"And the wind shall say: "Here were decent godless people:
Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls."


It comes from a 1934 work of Eliot's, entitled "Choruses from the Rock." You may have had to read it in high school, if you're very old, or college, if you're moderately old. However, you will enjoy it more now, so read it here.

And if you are still in high school or college, read it anyway. I did, and it didn't hurt a bit.
