The Nativity Story
Most of our Christmas posts till now have been secular and modern. But for Christians, I think we do need to reflect that this holiday is more than just being with family, Santa Claus, and presents. As a side political note, notice how taxes and census are mentioned even in the Christmas story. Ha! If Republicans oppose both they oppose Christmas! Just kidding.
From Luke 2:1-20.
Proof, of course, that God can use even the evil that men do in order to work good. (Offered in the same spirit as the post itself — Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!)
“All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
