I always read your Column in the Olde Church News.
Another Lady told me Christ was a Black or Brown Guy - real dark skin. She doesn't like me - and is trying to throw some doubt in my Mind.
I have the picture of the good - looking Jesus - blond hair and blue eyes. It did seem a little strange that no one in the Mideast looks like that.
I read somewhere - (maybe in one of your columns) - you have an illustrious name. That 'Boypincher' goes way back in Church History.
Also - when the Wise Men came from the East - did they have to have Passports? I am religiously curious about how these things happened back then.
And isn't the hay in a Manger scratchy? Seems like they could find a better place to lay Him. And the smells in that Stable must have been horrendous.
Just one last one - did the parents pawn the Gifts after the Wise Men left?
They were hard up for money - I believe - couldn't even afford an Inn.
Sincerely,
Mary...... (never married - still a Virgin).
