I went back to Luke this morning just to revisit the story of Christmas… and Luke 2:7 hit me like an arrow to the chest: “She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.” We romanticize that line so much that we forget how brutal it actually is. If the gospel narrative is true, then that’s not a cute nativity detail. That is the most explosive statement in human history. The God who created galaxies entered His own creation… and there was no room for Him. No royal welcome, no palace, no safety, no honor, not even a bed. He comes into the world He made, and the doors are closed in His face. This is the single greatest scandal of Christianity: God doesn’t supervise salvation from a throne. He steps into it. He doesn’t arrive in glory. He arrives vulnerable. He doesn’t come intimidating humanity into submission. He comes as a child who can’t even hold His own head up. If you were inventing a religion, this is not the story you’d write. Luke is quietly showing something staggering about God’s character: He wins, not by force, but by love. He saves, not by domination, but by self-giving. He comes close, not as a King demanding space, but as a Savior entering even when there is “no room.” And that manger isn’t sentimental. It’s confrontational. It confronts our pride, cos humanity has always had space for power, wealth, celebrity, and status… just never space for God unless He serves our plans. It confronts our illusions of strength cos God is showing that real power isn’t the ability to crush. Real power is the courage to empty yourself for the sake of others. It confronts religion, cos God bypassed temples and elites and arrived where animals feed… then announced His coming not to emperors, but to shepherds. Luke 2:7 tells us who God is. He is not distant, He is not indifferent, He is not cold sovereignty. He is the God who chooses weakness so He can stand with the weak. He is the God who walks into human pain instead of observing it from afar. He is the God who would rather be rejected with us than reign without us. If this verse is true, Christianity isn’t just another belief system. It’s a radical claim that the deepest power in the universe is love; not might, not fear, not spectacle. So yes… this verse broke me today. Because if this is who God is… then hope isn’t sentimental. Grace isn’t theoretical. And Christmas isn’t “cute.” It’s God stepping into history quietly… exposing us gently… and saving us completely. Luke 2:7 isn’t a children’s story. It’s a revolution. Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

Monson on watching film with his team the day he was fired: "I said, 'Just look at this first defensive clip guys. We close out short here. The guy's wide open. We don't get a contest. These are the kind of plays that would get a coach fired.' The whole room just broke up. It started right then. It was like, 'Okay, we're going to be alright here.'"

Sorry I caught you on your last bite, Bird. I’m also ignoring that Mountain Dew!

Proud of our two seniors. They finished their final season in a @boydbasketball uniform undefeated on our home floor. Both have bright futures ahead of them but we hope to keep them around for a few more weeks. I love you both! @alexmartin2024 @Jasonellis_3
