George
George the End
George the Middle and
George the Beginning
I've enjoyed watching George bloom again in the telling of his story. It was like an unexpected Indian summer for me. Now winter approaches and George's petals will fall to the earth. His memory will live on, but in a more subdued way. Perhaps it is best for me to move on too.
George the Beginning
1. You should read the first installmen, George the Middle before reading this.
2. I apologize for the length. If you knew how bravely I cut it, and how it hurt to do so, you might forgive me.
George the Beginning
In 1996 an AIDS patient in our local hospital had a delirious vision. He was medicated and in deep pain when he saw Jesus standing by his bedside. The man's name was George.
George the Middle
If I told you the story of how dope-smoking George became a Christian while eating a sandwich with me at Subway and how he later came to be a deacon in our church, you would laugh to beat the band. You would.
I might do it too - tell that story. If I do I'll call it “George the Beginning”. If I feel up to it, I might write “George the End”. I don't know.
I always change the names of the people in my stories, but not this time. George is dead so I don't think he'll mind, and it feels real nice to be using his name again.
All of my books are for sale though me. I've not had the energy or inclination to send them to Amazon or any other place.
