    Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 11, 2007
     | 2,398 views

God is with you, and you are blessed among women.” One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree ...read more

    Christmas begins in the OT with the promise of the Messiah.
