Luke 1:26-32

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Luke 2:1-14

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

BAH HUMBUG! It’s too early to say Merry Christmas. Nobody has finished their shopping yet. There’s all the Christmas Church programs to direct and endure. There’s the nutty liberal soninlaw who’s coming to visit (drat). How many have up all the decorations? Not me. I’m going nuts here. No peace on earth until I’m completely exhausted and have no choice but to sit down. Merry? I don’t think so. And you? Are you well? Okay..if you tell me that you are well and happy, then I will wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS. Bah Humbug.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Happy um... 4th of July????

(giving you some extra time here....)

Anyone old enought to remember when the Astronauts read from Genesis?
When I hear the recording of that, it still sends tears to my eyes.
I know my post isnt really Christmas related, but it was still moving to hear.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I don’t remember! Can you find it on YouTube???
