Hear Here

When my daughter was just a little girl, she played Mary in the Nativity at First Christian Church of Ashland. As she admired the Christ child, I noticed she was moving the doll around. Later, I asked her what she was doing.

"There was a SPIDER in there", she exclaimed.

"A spider? what did you do?"

"I smushed it with the baby Jesus' head", she replied.

The story of the birth of Jesus can empower us do incredible things, like ride a camel for 500 miles, but only if we truly hear the story. If we fail to give the story our attention, really pour ourself into it, we can wind up smushing spiders with the baby Jesus' head, and not give it a moment's thought.
