Tonight begins the 43rd annual Live Nativity at Ballard Church of Christ in Sparta.  I grew up just over a mile away from this church and can you believe I have never gone to this!?  I’m really looking forward to taking our children this year!  The event is free of charge and is scheduled for December 21-December 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.  O come let us adore Him!

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.  Luke 2:16-18
