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.

“Think a moment of all the events and encounters that have shaped you most deeply and lastingly. How many did you see coming?  How many did you engineer, manufacture, or chase down?” ~Mark Buchannon

A life full of vitality comes when we are giving of ourselves- when we are letting go so others can hold on.
