and then...

isn't it 

interesting...

one day it feels...

it seems 

the clouds

and doubts and

power plays 

hold the end 

of the story.

in this season of the 

manger...

of donkey carrying mother

of shepherds in the their fields

of stars in the night sky...

i can't help 

but ponder 

the many clouds and doubts

and power plays

that took place

in Jesus'

time...

in Jesus' life.

we sing 

silent night,

but we can't sing

without the 

truth of what

will come in the 

stories after the manger.

isn't interesting...

how clouds and 

doubts and 

power plays 

seem to win 

one day...

and then in an instant,

in a word...

a new perspective,

a new reality.

it's gospel 

story stuff

it is.

one day
it is this,

and then...
