Mary's Christmas

 Once again I ask myself, how will I approach this familiar story?It won’t hurt if we start right here and now, in our own world– soon we’ll visit Mary and Joseph• but we’re 2000 years and a world away from them• why do we even bother with a story so old and distant?◦ it is because we know this story was written for us– and that raises another question – Why did Luke tell the story of Jesus?• I’m convinced it was because he wanted us to know Jesus◦ and Luke knew this story is for everyone◦ it is just as the angel told the shepherds,
