"For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and holy is his name."
-Mary on getting bopped by God. What a trooper.
People get really hung up on the virgin birth thing. Can we just get over it? It's sort of weird and lame, so whatever, let's just drop it. It's not even that important. Jesus was either a good real dude who said helpful things or a good fake dude who said helpful things. People quote Holden Caulfield like he's a saint, and no one is even pretending he was immaculately conceived. I say we move on and enjoy whatever we think the truth is.
Like Mary's story. Gets told about having to be pregnant, and she's like...pumped. Challenges are blessings cheesy cheese blah blah blah, but it's true, and we should remember that. I like the symbolism of shepherds seeing a dim light of a star and just following it until they found the baby party. Life feels like that all the time to me. You get a little hint of something good, and if you follow it and have faith, next thing you know, you are immortalized in manger scenes for all eternity.
Breath of heaven, hold me together, be forever near me.
