Drama
Richard F. Bansemer
... . Rebekah, the mother, loved Jacob. One day after a long hunt Jacob got Esau to sell his birthright for a bowl of soup. Many years later he tricked his own father, blind and near death, into giving him the blessing due Esau by pretending he was his brother by dressing in animal skins and lying to him. Esau then vowed to kill his brother Jacob, and Jacob had to flee the country. That brings us up to date. Now Jacob is coming home, and he is scared. He is scared because he remembers how he cheated his brother ...

It may be a simple white robe of cotton with bell sleeves, or a full-length dress with long sleeves. 1. Gather one end of the material and pin it securely to the individual’s left shoulder. 2. Allow the material to fall loosely and in folds down the front, so that the fold comes nearly to the bottom of the hem of the undergarment. 3 ...

... trouble with that text is during the week when I sit in the office. The economic times being as bad as they are, more and more frequently we have somebody coming into the office during the week asking for money. You can always tell who they are. They don’t dress the way we do. They always come in and act a little sheepish. They look the secretary in the eye, and they say, "Is the pastor in?" She’s very glad to pass each one on. Each one comes in and plays with his cap. Each one sits down and ...

... Botswana, "this could have been the stone age." By 1980, "the circle of huts (which they had lived in in 1966) had been replaced by a cleared area the size of a football field." Fences had been set up to hold the cattle, and people were dressed in western clothing and army boots; they sat around in front of houses. Their cooking pots were filled with cornmeal "from bags labeled, ‘Gift of the People of the United States.’ " Ms. Brooks noticed "a teen-age girl who carried an amplifier that would have done ...

The manager took her upstairs, and she came face to face with a man standing in a corner, fully dressed and with a hat on. The funeral director told her that he had been there three and one-half years. To her dismay and horror, she discovered that it was the body of her brother-in-law, who had died in Spartansburg General Hospital under an assumed name; the ...

... repeating since childhood: Hark, hark ... the dogs do bark! The beggars are coming to town: Some in rags, and Some in tags, and Some in velvet gowns. Some of the truth of that nursery rhyme finally dawned on me last week: the grievers, those who sorrow, are dressed all sorts of ways in rags, tags, velvet gowns. Scratch the surface of any one of us, and you will find some kind of sorrow or heartache. Can there also be joy here? Our minds have tried to deal with this universal, emotion in four different ways ...

In fact, some who look highly successful are actually quite miserable. Some years ago, a well-dressed young man came to a priest in Paris for counseling. He complained of being blue, unfulfilled and depressed. The old priest said to the young man, “Go to Grimaldi! He is the handsome, young, happy-go-lucky leader of the Continental jet set ...

... and to demolish opposing views, but to include them in a larger theoretical structure."2 By our conditioning, doubt has been for many of us a word that has a pejorative ring about it, but I think we can begin to consider a doubt as a friend - a friend who dresses a bit differently than we do, but a friend no less. Doubt functions like a road sign that reads "dead end." It doesn’t say there is no way to get where we want to go; it only says that the dead end road will not get us there. We ...

... Yes he does, but he hollers in different places!" Just as there must be at least twenty-five different ways one can offer hamburger, so there must be many ministers who present the same theme, Sunday after Sunday, with slightly different dressings. Hamburger, however presented, is still hamburger. By contrast, biblical faith is incredibly diverse. It is a faith that encompasses every dimension of life from the personal to the social, from sexuality to politics, from mental health to miracles, from prayer to ...

Saul got up, moved, and sat on the bed, her only piece of furniture - a witch’s bed, yet a king sat upon it. She killed and dressed the fatted calf - perhaps a pet. Who in the New Testament told of killing the fatted calf? She then took flour, kneaded and baked unleavened bread - there was no time for yeast. Who in the Gospels took bread, broke it, gave it to the disciples saying, "This ...

Emily cries out a loving goodby to those precious - seemingly insignificant - experiences at Grovers Corners: Mama and Papa; ticking clocks; the sunflowers Mama had lovingly planted; the fragrance of food cooking and the aroma of fresh coffee.

Emily then turns to the stage manager and asks if people ever fully realize ...

Rather than a large doll, the girls really needed a live baby to dress, feed, and love. Some money arrived from college friends back in Iowa.

One of the best photographs from the WWII era is a photo of King George the VI inspecting a bombed out section of London. He stops to talk with a little boy, who is sloppily dressed and has his cap on crooked. The King is bending on one knee and looking directly into the face of the child, and even though it is a profile shot of the king you can see that his is a look of compassionate.

... it this way, "Be content to be nothing, for that is what you are." Our hymns express this traditional view of a Christian’s importance: "Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?"; "Nothing in my hand I bring, Naked come to thee for dress, Foul I to the fountain fly;" and "Just as I am without one plea." How and why does a Christian come to this apparently low opinion of himself? He reaches this estimate of himself when he confronts the greatness and the holiness of God. Then he sees himself ...

It is said that James the Fifth of Scotland sometimes put aside his royal robes and dressed as a peasant, moving among the common people.

He knew them intimately not as a monarch ruling from a distant throne, but as one who involved himself with his ...

... -wealth problem has always been a problem in the church. In the book of James in the New Testament, one of the earliest church fellowships was being upset by favors shown to some and lack of respect for others. That particular church experienced well-dressed persons entering and being given a fine seat. Poorly clad persons were made to sit on the floor. As James reminded the congregation, thoughts that produce such actions are completely out of place in a religion which stresses that no member of the body ...

Looking around, Diogenes saw a vacant looking young man, very richly dressed, who stood by. "Sell me to that man," he said. "He looks as if he needs a master." We will indeed all have a master of one kind or another, and the scripture today encourages us to accept Christ for that master. It was Jesus’ point here ...

We sang the Easter hymns to the accompaniment of a squeaky, little, portable, reed organ. No one told anyone he had to come. There was no social custom or conformity about it. And yet ...
