THE NATIVITY STORY

We went to see the movie “The Nativity Story” Saturday night. I have to say knowing the whole plot and ending of the movie it wasn’t too bad. I kind of enjoyed it. I will give it 6 mangers out of a possible 10. It wasn’t a laugh out loud movie nor did we clap or anything else. When it was over everyone just sat there. I guess they were waiting for bloopers or something. Anyway there were several times you would find yourself well up inside and your eyes would start to water a little. Well Cindy’s not mine. It got to the part where Joseph finally found a place for Mary to have little baby Jesus. Little known fact Jesus was not only born to Virgin Mary but was also born without an umbilical cord. So then you know the shepherds came with their sheep and then the 3 wise men showed up. As soon as they got there I said I got to blog this. Cindy said Don’t you dare. Let me set up the scene for you. During the trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem Joseph walked while Mary rode a donkey, sideways. It made my back hurt just watching her. They carried nothing but some dried bread YUCK. It was supposedly 100 miles but they crossed 3 mountain ranges, 6 rivers and 2 deserts. That is an awful lot in 100 miles, anyway the part I really wanted to blog was, when the 3 wise men arrived as you know they brought Gold, Frankenstein and Myrrhphmas. They sat them down by the baby Jesus in very large containers. I thought how in the heck are they going to get that stuff home. 3 large containers, now one was filled with gold mind you GOLD. Then Mary and Joseph received their vision to get the heck out of there Herod’s men were coming to kill all newborns, so flee into Egypt. So the next scene shows them back on the same donkey with no large containers. “Where’s the gold Mikey”(Goonies).

Come on with probably 30 pounds of gold get something faster and buy some food.
