The Magic of Wisdom
The magic of the Christmas
Are you like the 'wise' men?
There are so many aspects to the story of 'Christmas' - and so many things we can learn for ourselves, not just the history of others. The planning started before the world even existed, and the result will last long after the world is gone.
Have you ever considered the 'wise men'? Most of us know them as the 3 splendidly dressed people giving a gift at the manger in the Nativity scene. Of course, this is not quite how it happened!
Joy to the world
Joy to the world!
Why Jesus' birth doesn't bring joy…
We sing the famous carol around Christmas time "Joy to he world, the Lord has come". But when you talk to most people, the fact that Jesus was born means nothing - it’s boring, fiction or even just marks the start of an oppressing (or false) religion.
Hardly a reason for 'joy'!
“What? - a man was born so I can't have fun & have to go to church?"
"He wants to end my joy"
And that is the reality for many - in fact all who are not born of God's Spirit - the birth of Jesus is not a reason for joy.
Is the carol wrong? And, the carol is based on the Bible...
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Saviour—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!
Luke 2:9-11 (NLT)
The angel of the Lord said the birth of Jesus would bring joy to all people. How can this be? But Jesus' birth is only recognised as Good News to some. So is the Bible wrong? Why is the birth of Jesus a joyful thing? Or at least why should it be?

Beer, Cones and Spirits
Sometime early in 1999
One day in my sisters community housing flat in Balga I had a group of friends over - drinking & smoking cones in my room - I never smoked any. I had become what some would call ‘paranoid’ when smoking dope…
