Apples of Gold
Radio Script for June 12, 2008
“Jasmine in the Air”
Hello, I’m Doug Apple…with Apples of Gold.
And now…the radio drama entitled: “Jasmine in the Air.”
(open with eerie dramatic music)
An evil wind.
He’s unaware.
He smells jasmine in the air.
A woman bathes.
He is staring,
Captured by what she’s not wearing.
He sends to find out more about her.
Uriah’s wife. Eliam’s daughter.
“Send for her.”
The night was wild.
A price was paid.
“I am with child.”
“Joab, send Uriah home!”
“Uriah, go, don’t sleep alone!”
“I will not while the rest are fighting.”
“Fine, I’ll make her more inviting.
Have some food, now drink, drink up!”
Uriah, have another cup!
Your wife must think you’re quite a hunk,
Oh just go home. You’re drunk!”
Uriah, honorable as he was,
Did not go play the man.
And from the king’s dishonorable mind
Sprang a more grisly plan.
“Dear Joab, here’s your man Uriah.
Less a lover and more a fighter.
Push him right up to the line
Then pull ‘em back and let him die!”
So Joab and his fighting men,
The city under siege,
They drove right up there to the wall,
Uriah in the lead.
“The city’s greatest warriors?
Put Uriah over there.”
The odds were stacked against them
And their shouting filled the air.
The enemy was winning big.
Uriah wouldn’t run.
He was fighting for his king.
The battle must be won.
Some men were killed around him,
And he noticed something weird.
No more were sent to help them,
And he felt a stab of fear.
“Dear David,” Joab’s message said,
“The Hittite…is dead.”
Bathsheba grieved her husband’s death,
Then married with great speed.
A little boy was born to them,
But God was way not pleased.
He sent the prophet Nathan by
To tell the king a story.
It started with a couple guys
And ended kind of gory.
A rich man stole a poor man’s lamb
And cooked him up for dinner.
The king exploded at the thought.
“Condemn that wretched sinner!”
“That’s right, he must be punished.”
Nathan played his clever plan.
He pointed at the king and said,
“Thou art the man!”
King David sinned against the Lord,
God judged the whole affair.
And men should all take heed
When they smell jasmine in the air.

(Proverbs 25:11 – “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”)
Why “The Arrow’s Tip”? Each morning, after diligently seeking the Lord, I write Apples of Gold. Then before I release it to the public I pray one final prayer, “Lord, send forth your arrows.” I envision Apples of Gold as arrows, tips dipped in the river of the water of life that flows from the throne of God (Rev. 22:1), sailing toward the hearts and minds of men and women around the world.
