I'm very happy to see you are blogging, and should have visited long ago.<BR/><BR/>I'm also blogging these days, part of my work gardening with the homeless at Urban Ministry Center. My take on the nativity echoes yours, in some ways:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://urbanministrygarden.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">Urban Ministry Garden blog</A><BR/><BR/>Clink on the link to the University of Dayton's collection of creches from all around the world - another retelling of the story, not in words but as a child might relive it by improvising a manger scene with beloved toys, a little paint, and recycled wood, twigs and boxes.<BR/><BR/>I'm very pleased to hear that Liz Clasen of the Center will be a new community columnist this year. She brings deep spirituality, youthful passion for justice, and no end of stories from her work with Homeless Helping Homeless.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your wise and thoughtful voice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954933932670299796.post-52079143558150073722007-12-26T12:30:00.000-05:002007-12-26T12:30:00.000-05:00Thank you for presenting Christmas as it really is...Thank you for presenting Christmas as it really is.

The truth...That is wonderful, absolutely wonderful. The truth in its stark simplicity is more awesome than what we have made of it. There were no lights, no feast, no yule log; the treasure lay in the manger and anything man could add to it would be as dust in comparison. Its all about Him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954933932670299796.post-69133382272708869302007-12-24T15:08:00.000-05:002007-12-24T15:08:00.000-05:00Amen and Merry Christmas, Jane.Soli Deo GloriaAmen and Merry Christmas, Jane.<BR/><BR/>Soli Deo GloriaD.J.
