A few days after Christmas the baby Jesus was stolen out of our Church's nativity scene. All that has been found is Jesus's head. Some other things have happened to make it apparent that it is our Church being targeted and not just a random act of vandalism. You hear about this happening to Church's all over, but I never realized just how it would make me feel to happen to us. However, some good things have come out of this. Another church in town has publicly asked us to fix Jesus and put it up again next year. The really great thing is that he and his church are going to help us make that happen.
Our church makes a big deal out of the Nativity scene. The night that we light it up, we have a big dinner and sing Christmas carols. The kids get very excited when baby Jesus finally makes his appearance on Christmas Eve. It might sound kind of corny but it is really fun and an annual tradition in our church. While the vandalism is sad, it is heart warming that the community is outraged, and so willing to see that our tradition will carry on next year.
On another note: Anthony had a tournment today and here is a picture from that.
