One Solitary Life
He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of poperty He had-His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Two thousand years have come and gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this "One Solitary Life."
Radio City Christmas Spectacular-Live Nativity Scene
I just got back from seeing the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in Nashville. It was INCREDIBLE! Not only were the Rockettes amazing, the costumes were incredible, the music was great, and the live nativity was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I also found it fascinating, that with all this talk of taking Christ out of Christmas, something so commercial and nationally renowned as the Rockettes show, included this spectacular reenactment of the birth of Christ. It was wonderful, they even had real live camels, lambs, and a donkey! Anyway, I thought this story of Jesus they printed in the program was really neat, so I wanted to share it :)
Merry Christmas!!!
