an adventure

Tuesday December 23rd Luke 1: 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. The understanding of the day was when an Angel visits you, you just know the rest of your life is going to be a bit different, out of your control, or most likely, very, very short. All your plans are out the window and you are now on a mission, or shopping for a gravesite. I suppose you could say no, but Jonah among others would advise you against it. What lies before you is nothing less than an adventure. Like Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit, what lays beyond that horizon can only be guessed at, and then you will be wrong for the most part. All you know is that it will be an adventure and you will not be alone. And yet, somehow the thought of staying home and watching reruns on the tube just does not sound all that appealing anymore.
