The Nativity Story


I just arrived home from veiwing The Nativity Story at a local theater with my son. We were both touched and moved to a little mist in the sockets (That's a mans way of saying we cried a bit). The story as found in the Bible is beautiful, wild, raw, gentle, mysterious, mad, and God. To view the artistic rendition on the screen was... I am not sure how to describe it, amazing, romantic, wonderful, disconcerting, comforting.

I left the theater with a heart full of gratitude and praise. In the midst of human chaos God fleshes out redemption. God came near. It is a fact that we live in a very (sometimes) hard world and this real life we live in can be diffucult, but it is also a fact that God is real and active. Thank God.

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
Luke 2:14
