“Hi, Marcia and Carl. It’s good to see you two! How’re things going with you guys? Go on in; Jesse and Amanda are already here.”
“Good, good. I finished my work on the church bulletins for next week just in time. I almost thought we wouldn’t make it here tonight.”
“Yeah, I know how that is…I had so much to do for my class this morning, I felt like a chicken running around with its head cut off.”
“Did you see the two Schneider girls? Weren’t they just darling, the way their Mom dressed them alike for Sunday school?”
“Really cute. Hey, here’s some hot chocolate. I thought we’d all like a nice warm cup before we get started on the Bible lesson.”
“Sounds good. It’s freezing out there!”
“Well, we’d better get to it, gang; the minutes are ticking away. Who wants to read the scripture verses to us tonight? Robert? Thanks. The text tonight is Matthew 25: 34-40. Okay, Robert, go ahead.”
“Alrighty…uh…here it is: 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 and you invited me in-”*
“Sorry to interrupt, Robert, but let’s stop and discuss that portion of scripture, okay?”
Outside the House:
“It’s a cold, cold world…a cooolldd world…where’s the middle? Where’s the middle…the middle of the road?”
“Hey, fella! Get off the road-you wanna get hit? Weirdo! Man! What a nut! He should be locked up or somethin’…go back to the nuthouse, Crazy Bob!”
“I’ll show you…I’ll show you…here’s the middle, the middle, the middle…there’s a house, a house, a house…a house with a light…a light…a light. A. LIGHT. A. LIGHT. There’s a house…with a light…and some people…and a light…and they laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh…and they read…and they read…and they read…and there’s the light…the light…the light…The Light.”
Inside the House:
“Let’s stop again, Robert. Look out the window-it’s that guy that walks all over town. My kids call him Crazy Bob.”
“Yeah, I’ve seen him everywhere…how can he stand the cold like that?”
“He must be used to it.”
“He looks like he needs a warmer coat. It’s got to be in the twenties out there.”
“Yeah. Poor guy. Should we do something? Call the Center or the police to help him?”
“What a shame…on a night like this…they should have a place for people like him to go in the winter.”
Maybe we should call the Center…”
“Well, I guess we could do that…wait-never mind-he’s walking again.”
“Let’s remember to say a prayer for Bob tonight when it comes time to give our prayer requests, Okay? Go on, Robert…you left off with verse 40, I think.”
“Oh. Uh…okay: The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me…”
Outside the House:
“It’s the middle…middle…middle…it’s a cold…cold…cold…world…world…world…a light…light…light…the middle…middle…middle…”
