Heading Home

We head home today. We will be stopping in Hagerstown for lunch with Rachel's parents. Sight & Sound was really good. I thought they could have down a much better job with the angels and shepherds in the field scene. I have always wonder how Mary and Joseph felt concerning everything that was happening. How much did they really know? Did they know He was the Messiah? Probably... They didn't know what all this was going to involve, did they? It had to be a tough experience. Also, I wonder how long the angel was with Mary when he told her she was going to have a baby? Did he tell her and leave immediately? That seems a little cruel doesn't it? To drop a bomb shell like that and then leave her alone... Some day maybe I will know the answer to these questions. Of course you may think it doesn't matter. It doesn't, really. But, somehow, these questions make them seem more real and human. They struggled with what was taking place...
