Oh you crazy guy, why do you leave church at exactly the moment when you need church the most??? Is it because because because the church can only take your joy (which you don't have) and has no use for your sorrow?
Has it rejected you and spit you out?

The congregation said, Oh where is Don? And Mary Louise (the bookkeeper, whom you will meet soon) said: He really elevated the spiritual tone, you know. And Dave the hardened criminal (you will meet him too) felt a big hole in his heart, a hole that oddly had exactly the shape of... Don. It was as though a brother had run away.
*
"Create in me a clean heart -- renew me...." The choir sang Psalm 51 but sounded all wrong because Don was missing. The music director fumed. That guy should feel terrible for ruining our harmony.
*
And Dave the criminal brooded in his apartment. Not being great with doctrine, he had been looking for an actual model of the Christian walk, a man whose steps he could follow in his clumsy way. And now that model had just about skulked away and this was the same as not to model anything at all.
