So This Is Xmas: Want The Unwanted 12/21/2014

It's interesting that all these nativity scenes appear in people's front yards this time of year.  Stables are smelly, dirty, messy places - something you hide in the back with the rest of the unwanteds of our lives, of our society, of ourselves... But what if it is the hidden and unwanted in our lives where God's love chooses to be born? What can God move from our back yards into the front?  

What's even more interesting is that God chooses to be born into that mess.
