[QUOTE="ianpspurs, post: 2348018, member: 193971"] Good morning everyone. So, my fbg was 5.4 on Swipey - very disappointing being a Swipey reading and I eschewed so much yesterday. Seen through that lens yesterday was a majestic classic played on a kazoo compared to the full symphony orchestra and choir my mind imagined a few "naughties" would have yielded. Then, "bosh" today's poem is [URL='https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2016/12/26/the-song-of-the-shepherds-by-richard-bauckham-2/']this[/URL] and so much falls into place. Perfect contrast between Milton yesterday and this - the elite vs the JAM (although Bauckham is a renowned NT scholar); the "highs - in both senses - of Christmas meals past and LC versions; Christmas day itself vs Boxing day; Advent hope versus here and now - Tier 4, cold and dark! (Incidentally, how did I get to 65.5 and not know/learn how marginalised Shepherds were in the society Jesus was born into, therefore making that hugely significant, until today?) If this post were from anyone else I'd say don't beat yourself up that reading and the effort is all you can do. I implore people not to take that tack or give hugs - I don't operate that way. Horses for courses. I'll pray and think this one out - Luke 11.11 Have a great day folks. Edit: Who forgot to acknowledge The Feast of Stephen then?:banghead: [/QUOTE]
