Luke 13, 14 [NIV Dramatized Audio]

While at the Redneck Gourmet for breakfast with the ROMEOS (Retired Old Men Eating Out) I met Curtiss. He has a speech impediment so he’s very hard to understand. He also walks with a distinct limp, sort of dragging one of his feet as he walks. Yes, he is a professional panhandler, and quite good at it, but he’s been disadvantaged probably his whole life. I try to give him a ride where he needs to go when our breakfast is done.

He is one who would be invited to the banquet described in Luke 13. God gives us the chance to be good to those who have it rough. He would be given a prominent seat at the great banquet referred to in this chapter.

Be on the lookout for the Curtisses in life. They are out there.

He calls me “Dad.”
