We often perceive the menial tasks or nuisances as merely obstacles hindering us from getting more done.  But what if they are trying to get our attention-to wake us up.

If you are truly letting these stories do what they have done for centuries, you leave your questions in nazareth and ride with Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, you leave the hillside fire behind, like the shepherds to go and find the hope in the most unsuspecting of places, a manger.

If we can find God in the simple things, then we can find the divine in anything.

Some ideas are hard to swallow, you got to chew on them slowly.
