Jesus humbled himself…
He went from commanding angels … to sleeping in the straw.
From holding stars… to clutching Mary's finger.
The palm that held the universe…took the nail of a soldier.
Why?
Because that's what love does.

"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic Bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -- Shel Silverstein

Elizabeth, Max Lucado is local pastor and heard frequently on local radio talk, shows. NBA great David Robinson is a member of his congregation, and that has somehow given Lucado celebrity status around here.
Lucado is very anti-gay, constantly repeating all the same old stuff from the clobber verses.

Oh, dear, Mike. I love the poem. Too bad the author doesn't understand the fullness of his own message.
