Zero Gravity

Saving Grace

So

you were born this day

two thousand plus years ago

what am I to make of it

yesterday there was a

crush of people at the Mall

and for a poor young couple

and a child somewhere,

everywhere, no room at the inn.

I am reading Philip Yancey's book;

you know him, the "Grace" man,

makes me wonder why

you gave him privileged

access to your heart

him not being a world-saving

politician, denizen of the

legal labyrinth, or

golden-eyed celebrity

of the Sun to

be of interest to the

child of God (your loathing

of the perfectly correct, glorious-example-to-follow Pharisees, being much

exaggerated in my book

and in

my humble opinion).
