Broken Contract 


			
			Lord, You took me too literally!
			Well, I mean to say . . . 
			I'll go anywhere
			and do anything
			within reason!
			I know my limitations,
			and don't want to stretch them.

			In other words,
			the mission field
			should be upper middle class,
			the salary
			should be in line with
			other professionals,
			the hours
			should take into consideration
			that I need eight hours of sleep, minimum!
			and the paid holidays
			should be in keeping with big business!

			Please don't stretch me
			beyond my normal capasity, Lord!
			You see, there are some reservations
			to my original commitment.
			But You understand, don't You, Lord?
			You know how frail I am,
			and how pressure and inconvinience
			are more than I can handle.
			I don't want to break our contract, Lord . . . 
			only, please, leave room for some loopholes

			I don't think
			You've heard a word
			I've said, Lord.

			AMEN.
