Honey

Can You Please Turn up the AC

Honey, Can we please make a pit stop at the next rest stop I have to go. Can we please change the CD, I have a new one. Can I please lower the seat to a better angle. Can I please roll down the window.
Words Mary never said to Joseph on the trek to Bethlehem.
She was eight and a half months pregnant, one assumes, and riding on a -wait for it- donkey. A long ride. Not a little amusement park ride. A town to town to town ride from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Do the Google Mapquest on that one. On a donkey. No wonder she went into labor as soon as she got there.

Joseph we are told today had a wild dream and was convinced it was trustworthy.
Your girlfriend/fiance is pregnant and you didn't get to be with her yet. What is going on there?
An honorable man, he didn't want scandal so he was going to quietly take her back to her parents and 'divorce' her. Until he figured it out- the dream was real. It was one of those so real dreams you remember it when you wake up. She is your wife, don't be afraid to take her home, the child is- wait for it- conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever been presented with some scenario that sounded so off the wall you couldn't make it up- but there it is in front of you? And you are not supposed to run from it or be afraid. It is from God. It is not there to taunt, terrorize or scandalize you. It came from God. You are to Love it, like your own.

A good honorable man sees the good and does not suspect evil of the good. A good honorable man believes the Good.
