Cinderella

Cinderella image by akadarcee @ pixabay Cinderella This year we have chosen to perform Cinderella for our spring musical. We are doing the Rodgers and Hammerstein version that most people my age grew up looking forward to watching each year–a television special event. The story is familiar. The music is beloved. The characters are iconic. So why is it that fairy stories like Cinderella continue be so appealing, so intimately familiar, and yet, so exciting?  The Value of Fairy Stories... Read more

It Would Have Been Enough

Last updated on: January 21, 2026 at 2:01 pm   By Beverly R. Green

It Would Have Been Enough Recently, I watched Season 5 of the popular series The Chosen. I realize people have different ideas about the show, but I have enjoyed it and find the interpretation interesting. Episode 4 really got my attention, though–the portion of the Last Supper that is called, in Hebrew tradition, Dayenu.   The Traditional Dayenu (as recited in The Chosen Season 5 Episode 4) If He had brought us out of Egypt and not made judgments against... Read more

The Profound, Unconditional, Miraculous Provision of Abba

Last updated on: January 12, 2026 at 2:32 pm   By Beverly R. Green

  The Profound, Unconditional, Miraculous Provision of Abba Abba Father provides for us out of His profound, unconditional, miraculous love. It is a reflection of His very nature (I John 4:7-21), demonstrated unquestionably through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ, and evident in the daily blessings He bestows. This provision isn’t based on human merit but flows from God’s inherent goodness and desire for a relationship with His beloved, offering strength, purpose, and eternal life.  Of course, God blesses... Read more

A Conversation with My Eighteen-Year-Old Granddaughter

Last updated on: January 6, 2026 at 5:53 pm   By Beverly R. Green

A Conversation with my Eighteen-Year-Old Granddaughter   I spend a great deal of time with teens. Yes, by choice. I remember once asking the only student in the senior class who had not yet turned 18 about his birthdate. He told me the date in August when he would reach the mark. I answered, “Oh, my birthday is in August, too, only half a century before yours.” I wish you could have seen his chin drop. Not that he meant... Read more

World Champion Softball Player Leah Amico   Back in September, I was blessed to meet softball legend and SportsWorld personality Leah Amico.

Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas I had heard nothing ahead of time. School schedules, church schedules, and personal schedules had me nearly running in circles. But at just the right moment, I walked into the living room and the television was on, and I was drawn into a new telling of my favorite story: Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas. Yes, I have heard the story told thousands of times in many different ways from my mother reciting to... Read more

They reacted. They received.  They responded.   This morning started off badly … well, sort of. My phone alarm woke me out of a deep sleep, and when I reached to turn it off, it fell under the bed and I couldn’t locate it in the dark (Marty was still asleep, so I didn’t want to turn on a light, so I fished). The angel fell off her nail in my Nativity set, and I couldn’t get her to hang... Read more

Bama Gramma Tells the Nativity Story with a Cookie Recipe

Last updated on: December 3, 2025 at 4:00 pm   By Beverly R. Green

Bama Gramma Tells the Nativity Story with a Cookie Recipe Yet another Christmas Skit: I have an alter ego: Bama Gramma. She shows up at Christmas celebrations to share the story of the birth of Jesus with students. She is old-fashioned, wears her hair in a gray beehive, and speaks with a slow, deep-Southern drawl. Adding her own brand of “old folks'” humor, Bama Gramma is loved by those who meet her. This year she is going to tell the... Read more
