    Have you ever thought that the Wise Men got the short end of the stick? The shepherds were given specific instructions. Wise Men on their own!

    Those Stinkin’ Shepherds They got the short end of the stick. It just wasn’t fair. They were supposed to be wise and would probably come a lot closer to figuring out the riddle than the shepherds could, but it still wasn’t fair. Why should they have to do all the research? Why did it it fall their ...read more

He started reading, "Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah…" Then it suddenly occurred to him how long this list was and, not certain he wanted to read all of that, he ...read more
