Yesterday, I preached message two of the E! Hollywood True Story series at Living Grace.  The message title was High Dollar Accommodations taken from Luke 2:1-7.   You can hear the message at: http://podcast.livinggracechurch.com/

We looked at the journey to Bethlehem for the 9-month pregnant Mary and her new husband Joseph.  Here is a picture that represents their journey.  (Any pastors needing some graphics for this Sunday, feel free…)

Journey to Bethlehem

85 walking miles.  No mention of a donkey anywhere in the birth narratives.  The distance is very similar to walking from Newwark to Atlantic City or in my area from Campbellsville to Elizabethtown to Louisville.  Ouch!

Next week, we will be talking about The Press Release from Luke 2:7-20.
