Don’t Forget!
THE BEAL BROTHERS, ANDREW AND JOE
Behold, how pleasing it’s for brothers to dell together in unity.
Many were surprised to read in the obituary for Kathleen Houston, that officiating at her service
would be Rev. Andrew Beal and Rev. Joe Beal. Was it a misprint? Who is Rev. Andrew Beal? Is that
Bro. Joe’s brother? These were some of the questions that were asked.
It was not a misprint and Rev. Beal (Andy) is not my biological brother. Yet he is my brother indeed! Kathleen often spoke of her nephew Andy. Rev. Beal played professional baseball before
surrendering to the call to ministry. Kathleen kept up with him and always shared with me how he
was doing in his ministry. She was so proud of Andy. I first met Andy at the Visitation and Funeral
of Kathleen’s brother, who was Rev. Beal’s grandfather. It was the beginning of a warm and friendly relationship.
Upon Kathleen’s death, Rev. Beal came and met with John and me, and the three of us planned
the Service of Celebration for her. We sat at the table in my office and planned her service. At the
end of our planning, Rev. Beal asked to pray. He thanked God his beloved Aunt, for Broadway and
her ministry, and for John's and my ministry. He also prayed for my health. John and I showed him
around the Church. We shared a few laughs and he left. The beauty of the experience was that we
were three brothers in fellowship with each other. Andy’s and my heads are similar in shape; and
John has more hair that we, but we are brothers. Inextricably bound together in the Love of Jesus
Christ.
We live in such a torn and divided world. It is refreshing to know there are places where we all
are brothers and sisters. Look at the smiles on those two faces. Those smiles reflect the love of
Christ. I am grateful that Broadway is one of those places where we are all accepted as sisters and
brothers.
Great picture isn’t it! I wish I could take credit for it, but can’t. It was Rev. Andrew (Andy) Beal’s
idea to take the picture, and the photographer was Pat Bruce. Thanks Pat!
Special thanks to each of you, my sisters and brothers.
With Love,
Joe
