If you are as I am, just walking along the beach of life and travelling down the highways of the sands of time, I would like to share a moment with you and get acquainted with you this very day. Here is a quick look at a man’s life that was forever evolving over a period of five decades. My name is Firebird Green Jr., and I was born and raised in RB, Louisiana, a place I grew up and enjoyed every minute of every day. It seemed to have set the table for the rest of my life, and I loved it more than drinking lemonade and eating blackberry pie. I was raised by my father and uncles doing some of the typical Louisiana boy kinds of things: fishing, hunting, playing sports in the neighborhood, racing, and running straight down the middle of rocky roads. As a teenager, I loved dancing as much as I loved girls. The church played an important role in my development as a child. I was required to attend Sunday school and Bible classes and every Sunday-afternoon services. I graduated from State High with honors and went off immediately into the air force and spent time in Europe’s BB, Germany, and visited many of the surrounding countries, like France, Belgium, Holland, and Italy. I got out of the military in the early sixties and went Straight into Los Angeles, California, at a time when the hippie movement had just taken off on the West Coast and Black Pride was moving through, changing the African American community at an alarming pace. Jimmy Hendrix and the Beatles were revitalizing music and introducing a new style of their own, called rock ‘n’ roll, and all seemed well in love and war. But I soon found out, as the 1970s moved into the eighties and right into the nineties, that my life was pretty much like a roller-coaster ride. Every time I thought it was calm sailing, there was an abrupt turn into turbulent waters, and I found myself just trying to hold on once again until the spiritual revelations that I started having in the middle of the 1990s revealed that there was something else going on inside me that was more powerful than anything I could muster up on my own steam and a carnally minded path that I was travelling and at the same space and time. My eyesight started to fail, and I withdrew for a period of two years in a semiwithdrawn stage until one day, while I was hiding inside my apartment, the Holy Ghost spoke to me in a conversation like this: “Are you happy, do you feel safe, and is this all you want out of life, or are you ready to trust God and get back into the race and press toward the higher calling that is in Christ Jesus?” I stood right there in my living room, and I said, “Yes, Lord, send me.” At that moment, the last man was born, and over the next thirteen years, he has been fed a hefty diet of spiritual food, and he now stands complete in Christ and dressed down with the whole armor of God and the sword of the Spirit in hand.view less
