Christmas Nativities

This is my reading of the Christmas story from Luke along with photos of some of our family nativities and also some from others.

I completed reading through the Bible this year, just concluding this morning with the verse from Malachi 4, that God will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers. He said this, and then waited 400 years to do so by sending Jesus through Mary, to Bethlehem.

Merry Christmas to all who hear the words of this message.

The Earth Will Be Filled ...

This sound clip was a great find for me this morning as I read through the Bible. The minor prophet of Habakkuk tells of his praise for God in the middle of a terrible overthrow of his people from an invading army.

For me, this was a treasure of a verse to read, and it stood out from the rest of the text. I recorded it separately and inserted an impressionists painting to highlight the earth and its filling with the Glory of the Lord.

I recorded this verse as a part of the overall recording that I've been doing through the Bible in 2008.
