Who
are these men? Why are they here?
Do
they mock me?
I
am the only King in Judea!
A
usurper they seek? They wish to worship him?
We'll
see about that.

DISTURBANCE
Palace
guests are not especially unusual.
An
entourage, however, is something totally different.
So
many men! So exotic!
Someone
said they were from the East.
Someone
said they were seeking a newborn King of the Jews.
There's
gonna be trouble.

WONDER
From
the time Gabriel came
Nothing
was the same.
A
babe, when i know not a man?
Truly
the ways of Adonai
are
wonderful, unknowable
.
. . even strange.

GOLD
We
watch.
Kings
we are not,
Though
you may call us so.
Watching,
Reading
the prophecies
Collected
wisdom of the world.
We
knew
The
time was here,
The
time for the Promised One to come.
Balaam
told us first to look for a star ~
You
doubt? Your science does not know all!
Dan'el
showed us where and when to come.
A
fit place for the King of the Jews.

WORDS
--Luke the Researcher/Writer Weighs In
--Luke the Researcher/Writer Weighs In
In
Philippi
The
demon-possessed slave girl prattled good news,
Ceaselessly,
unknowingly.
Vacated,
she had nothing to say.
Paul,
hit by divinely-touched sparks,
blesses
us with sermons for the ages.
The
mother of our Lord ponders.
Not
for her the quick, glib turn of phrase,
But
she meditates deeply.
I
knew I needed her words
to
tell the carefully researched story
of
the Lord.
Even
after all these years,
she
haltingly recounts the events.
She is a necessary witness.

Jubilance
Wake
up, Bethlehem!
He's
here!
Our
promised Savior has arrived!
The
LORD's angel told us
And
it is so. Truly the LORD is doing a new thing.
He
has sent our our Savior to
Not
the palaces of Jerusalem,
But
to a stable in Bethlehem.
Isaiah
43:18,19; Micah 5:2,5a
Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: The Beginning of the 12 Days Poem
COMMENCEMENT
(Prelude)
After
Gabriel came
Adonai
curled around me
And
in me.
Nothing
was the same.
i
thought i had lived before ~
He
brought me wild,
Abundant,
full Life.
Now
Joseph
Has
brought fresh straw.
i
lie back,
Cradling
Adonai's Son
Curled
against my breast -
Peace
and calm reign.
We
begin new life.
