Shepherds and Wise Men Both Made it to Bethlehem
Some people come to Jesus like the shepherds.
Out in the fields, minding their own business -- and kablammo!
Something big happens!
Angels show up! a huge angel choir! Glory to God in the highest!
Life change in a moment.
The shepherds drop everything and run to Bethlehem, where they find
teh Christ-child lying in a manger.
They rejoice, celebrate and end up broadcasting the good news
everywhere they go. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Others come to Jesus like the wise men.
They see a distant star in the east and are puzzled by its appearing.
"What does this mean?", they wonder. After a long pondering, they
begin a long, winding journey of faith.
It takes them quite a while to figure things out -- with plenty of
detours along the way. But, eventually, they, too, end up in
Bethlehem.
Departing, they did not cause a big scene like the shepherds --but had
the experience of inner transformation as well (though of the "still
waters" variety.)

Pastor Mark got his wish! That does not mean it was his biggest dream.
I am wishing for a hot fudge sundae right now, and if I got it one of my wishes would have come true.
Of course, in the great realm of things important in my life, the hot fudge sundae is nowhere near the top of my list.
