Advent 12
A quick thought today:
Zora, through the miracle of Hulu, enjoyed her first ever viewing of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.
I never noticed before: when Charlie Brown is about to give up on his Christmas tree, he hears Linus reciting the Luke 2 Christmas story again. And this causes him to give the tree another chance. It might be a scraggly, scrappy little tree. The unexpected tree.
But baby Jesus was a scraggly, scrappy, unexpected little Messiah.
Um, I may be quoting you on this in my Christmas Eve sermon.
