No Room

"It's a l-o-n-g way to Bethlehem!"  I thought to myself

as our car made its way slowly in the maze of traffic

waiting for a turn to view the live nativity at a local church.

Driving home, we three adult passengers 

ranging in age from sixty-seven to ninety-one

decided that once-in-a-lifetime for this particular experience

would be enough for us.

THIS scene, "No Room in the Inn", reminded me of a Tim Keller tweet

that challenged me recently:

“The manger at Christmas means that, if you live like Jesus, 

there won’t be room for you in a lot of inns.”
