The Way in the Manger

This time of year seems to come faster each year. I think that is the definition of aging. I love symbolism and the messages they communicate and this time of year is full of them. Take the manger.

Did they think because Joseph took an “adulterous’ woman as his wife they couldn’t suspend judgment to help them? WTC!

Some family you are … Do you think couples are still dealing with this today? Angels are the spoilers of this judgmental attitude. They give the message of the Messiah
