Thanks very much. I need that glass of water, please. You say it's going to be a dry message. Well, I've had a bit of a throat problem and that won't do me any good. But at least it gets me something to play with. I asked for a glass of water once at a banquet and the lady said, "You're going to …

Luke 2:8-20: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them, and they were very much afraid. And the Angel said unto them, "Fear not, for …
Luke 2:15: And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said, one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which has come to pass." And they came with haste. Someone has called that the first Christmas rush, and I think it's …
