Merry Christmas to anyone milling around the web today!
What I most appreciate about Christmas is not the great significance the day has for us today in retrospect--typified by angelic hosts, rich Magi and jealous kings. What I appreciate the most is the insignificance of the original day, the sense that God visited little nowhere places like Bethlehem and Nazareth, under the cloud of scandal to a woman who was not married, noticed primarily by shepherd outcasts who happened to be nearby.
Who is there in any place that God does not care about?
There's none too poor,

too broken,
Too naked,
too stupid,
too drunken,
to be thrown outside His love!
(Aaron Strumpel)
Glory to God in the highest!
Gloria a Dios en lo alto!
Merry Christmas to you.
