There are so many myths to bust about how we view our sanitized versions of Christmas. The perfect Mary and Joseph. The clean straw. All that good stuff.

We want our “meek and mild” Jesus.

But Advent is a time to be reminded of Jesus coming again. And when he comes, it’s not so “quiet.”

³ Our God is coming;   
he won’t keep quiet.A devouring fire is before him;    
a storm rages all around him. (Ps. 50:3, CEB)

Sleep in “heavenly peace” thinking about that one… 😉
