The Cowboy's Homecoming (2011)
“They’d had services again yesterday. But by next week Dawson Community Church would be repaired and open once again.
Back Street would be forgotten. Again.
A truck pulled into the parking lot and pulled up next to his. Tim Cooper got out. Tim took his hat off and pulled out one of the spare lawn chairs. He shook it open and sat down.
“Nice day for sitting.”
Jeremy nodded. “Yep.”
Tim glanced across the road. “Saw you on that monster bike yesterday. Is it yours?”
“No, we built it for a customer. ...I’m hauling it to Tulsa tomorrow.” The bike was already on the trailer attached to his truck.
Tim nodded. His gaze strayed to the church and he sighed. “It’s been here a lot of years. I guess we did sort of let it go.”
“Yeah, but it was here when people needed it.”
“You mean after the tornado?”
Jeremy nodded. It didn’t sit well with him, that the people in town were done with the building. It had served its purpose—again.
It had served a purpose when he was a kid.MoreLess
