At our house, whenever my husband and I are unusually tired or in a hurry, we'll go to our trusty freezer and dig out a couple TV dinners. We do the same thing, too, when I forget to get out some meat to thaw for dinner.
Did I say our "trusty" freezer? Maybe that was an over statement. Sometimes when our freezer in the house is jammed full of one thing and another, and TV dinners, especially Marie Calender's, are on sale, we'll load up on them and store them in the freezer in our motor home which we park right behind our house. While Rex checks on the freezer now and then, he wasn't quite fast enough the other day. The refrigerator had conked out, died on us, dead as the proverbial doornail. We had rotten, spoiled TV dinners all over the place. What a mess.
But what about spiritual TV dinners? I'm thinking of televised worship services and radio sermonettes instead of attending a real, live church where we can interact with our brothers and sisters in the Lord. It's so easy not to bother to dress up and go to church -- just lounge around in our PJ's on Sunday mornings and try to get a little bit of spiritual food via the air waves. About as appetizing as a cheap frozen TV dinner!
Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to forsaake the assembling of ourselves together. I like the Living Bible paraphrase of that Scripture: "Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back is drawing near."
Are you trying to exist on spiritual TV dinners?
Just wondering.

P.S. Oh, yes, we have a spanking brand new refrigerator in our RV now -- plus a hefty bill to prove it!!!!
