Ten days until Christmas:
A thought on shepherds...
Think of the worst job ever. Cleaning toilets maybe? What about a bin-man, or a shelf-stacker at a supermarket? What about going into the family business, your grandfather was a farmer and so was your farmer, so naturally you go into that line of work. But shepherds were not by any means well off, they'd be the chavs of the Palestine area. You wouldn't find a posh shepherd, not ever. They were young, wild and poor, yet the message of Jesus was for them. Your average churchgoer even these days is white, middle aged, and middle class- would you let a chav into your church?
