the country out of the boy.” I never really understood that until I got 
out of the country a little bit. 

I visited cities; New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles just to name
a few. Looking back, I am so glad I did not grow up in any of those 
cities. 

I remember once walking down a New York City street and just stopped and
looked around me. Everybody was rushing here and there, the noise was 
deafening, I took a deep breath and the streets stank to high heaven 
(another apology to heaven). 

I am only now beginning to appreciate the great privilege I had growing
up in the country. Now that I am a country pastor, I can say this with 
a great deal of authority, “You can take the country preacher out of 
the country, but you can't take the country out of the country 
preacher.” 

David appreciated the country life and is reflected in one of his
Psalms. “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul 
after thee, O God” (Psalms 42:1). 

Only out of the country can you really appreciate the quietness of a
water brook and meditating upon God. 

We are in danger of losing our country life and when we do, we will lose
our Country.
