Do You Love the Unlovely?

Last updated on: June 3, 2024 at 3:38 pm By Beverly R. Green

Do You Love the Unlovely? The parable is familiar. The message is, too. As Christians, we are charged to love the unlovely. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger... Read more

What Will Raise Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones?

Dry Bones by Oudsidescape/pixabayEzekiel 37:1-5: The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone... Read more

Sunday I am teaching the lesson at a local assisted living facility. Two of my grandchildren have birthdays and I need to send gifts. My elderly parents have needs.

Serve Orlando

Last updated on: May 14, 2024 at 7:53 pm By Beverly R. Green

Serve Orlando When most people think of Orlando, FL, they think of theme parks, warm weather, and fun family activities; they don’t think of poverty and a huge, homeless population. It’s “the happiest place on earth,” right? However, I just spent several days in Orlando with seven high school seniors and an organization called Serve Orlando, and it was an eye-opener. Serve Orlando arranges room, board, and an itinerary of service for any size group. Here are some of... Read more

Jacob and Esau Genesis 25:29-34 Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” Therefore his name was called Edom. Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold... Read more

Good People, Too

Last updated on: May 2, 2024 at 11:08 am By Beverly R. Green

Good People, Too My husband, sister-in-law, and I do a Sunday church service once a month for members of a local assisted living community. We have done it since October of last year, so this past Sunday was our 7th meeting. My husband is a very accomplished pianist, and the residents love to listen to him play. He has developed rather a “fan club,” because he is willing to play, sometimes for a whole extra hour, as long as... Read more

Battle (a short story)

Last updated on: April 23, 2024 at 4:01 pm By Beverly R. Green

Yesterday, I posted a blog about angels watching over us. It brought to mind this short story that I published years ago. This is the way I perceive angels. This is “Battle (a short story).” Before the Battle Midnight. Martin stands at his post, alert and fidgeting. So far, everything is quiet, but to relax is out of the question. To doze, to drift, to lose focus, could be fatal. The minutes strain by. A jazz number begins to... Read more

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord, my soul to keep. Let angels watch me through the night, and wake me with the morning light.” This is a poem most children learn early in life in one variation or another. It helps establish a habit of praying at bedtime–a good habit to have. I was taught by my mother, farther back than my memory goes, a variation... Read more
