Where Have the Memorial Day Poppies Gone?

Last updated on: May 27, 2025 at 10:51 am By Beverly R. Green

Poppies for Memorial Day Where did they go? A couple of weeks ago, Marty and I reminisced about “back in the day” when people would stand at busy intersections on the Friday before Memorial Day and sell little paper poppies for any donation to help the veterans. Neither one of us had observed it happening in years. Then last Friday, just like a memory had been conjured back into life, he was driving through a small community near us, and... Read more

When Wandering Isn’t Losing: Trusting God’s Path

Last updated on: May 23, 2025 at 11:42 am By Beverly R. Green

“Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost” I usually talk to graduates about the quotation, “All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost” (J. R. R. Tolkien from The Fellowship of the Ring). I usually concentrate on the first half, advising them not to judge by what they see on the surface, but God has given me a new revelation in the second half of the quote: “Not all those who wander...

Noah, Survivor’s Guilt, and the Humanity Behind the Hero

Last updated on: May 8, 2025 at 9:27 am By Beverly R. Green

Noah, the Flood, and PTSD Yesterday, I watched the incredible production of Noah from Sight and Sound. What an amazing experience! It included very good actors, music and dancing, beautiful and detailed sets, and many, many live animals. What a production! Somehow, watching the action with an enhanced but believable backstory made me think more about the man, Noah– “a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, [who] walked faithfully with God.” How did someone with a resume...

Jesus Was Not Where He Was Supposed To Be

Last updated on: April 26, 2025 at 4:24 pm By Beverly R. Green

Words we don’t expect to hear: Jesus was not where He was supposed to be. John 20:1-7: “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have... Read more

Exraordinary, Exquisite Passion Tale: The Dream of the Rood

Last updated on: April 18, 2025 at 9:32 am By Beverly R. Green

An Extraordinary, Exquisite Passion Tale: “The Dream of the Rood.” It is the season for considering the Passion of Christ. There are so many ways to tell the tale that changed the world. In my opinion, one of the most extraordinary and exquisite narratives outside of scripture is “The Dream of the Rood.” “The Dream of the Rood” dates back to the Old English period. Its author is unknown, altough some have suggested Caedmon or Cynewulf. The Vercelli Book,... Read more

You’re [Still] a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Last updated on: April 13, 2025 at 10:45 pm By Beverly R. Green

You’re [Still] a Good Man, Charlie Brown Two weeks ago, I had the honor to direct my school’s first spring musical: You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. It was quite an experience. We had a very young cast, and having never done a musical, they were unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the singing (that was not choir) and dancing. In the end, they were wonderful! And even though we were pulling rabbits out of our hats at the last moment,... Read more

Palms: A History in a Coconut Shell

Last updated on: April 11, 2025 at 8:33 am By Beverly R. Green

Palms A History in a Coco-nut Shell The versatile palm tree has been used by people since the dawn of time for food, shade, shelter, and decoration, not to mention all the items like baskets and rope that can be made from twisting and weaving it. When we think of Palm Sunday, we think of palm branches or fronds waving in the hands of people and covering the pathway of Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem. Curiosity got to me this... Read more

Eight and a Half Miles in Nashville

Eight and a Half Miles in Nashville And Why I Recommend It I recently had the honor of visiting Nashville,Tennessee for the National High School Show Choir Finals in which my granddaughter’s choir from Auburn, Alabama was competing. The event was held at none other than the Grand Ole Opry. Having never been to Nashville before, I anticipated an adventure, and I was not disappointed. However, my sixty-eight-year-old feet were not quite prepared for what was on the horizon: eight... Read more

Sometimes the Best Response to God Is to Make Haste

Sometimes the Best Response to God is to Make Haste We are all quite familiar with the fact that we can find rest and peace in Jesus. He promises us that. Words we use are abide in Him, stand firm, be steadfast. However, sometimes God has a different message, a different plan, and a different method. Sometimes the best response to God is to Go! Hurry! Make haste! Don’t Make Haste … Sometimes There are scriptures that warn... Read more

I am Evangelical, But I Am Not Your Enemy

Last updated on: February 28, 2025 at 9:41 am By Beverly R. Green

I confess: I am Evangelical, but I am not your enemy. e·van·gel·i·cal /ˌēˌvanˈjelək(ə)l,ˌevənˈjelək(ə)l/ adjective of or according to the teaching of the gospel or the Christian religion. Similar: scriptural biblical Bible-believing fundamentalist orthodox noun a member of the evangelical tradition in the Christian Church. These days, Evangelical has become nearly a curse word in some arenas, particularly on social media. Recently, I was in a face-to-face conversation with a close family member who was belittling the “ignorant Evangelicals” who... Read more
