When I got the green light to write this column, I was told I could write about whatever I wanted. The first thing that came to mind were all the insightful and philosophical thoughts my brain has cooked up over the years, never seeing the light of day. Now that I have a haven to share these thoughts, I hope to indulge those interested in my various thoughts. My mission with this column is to write about various things clattering around in my mind, and if people like it, then that’s a bonus.

The virgin’s name was Mary.And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;therefore,also,thatHolyOne who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son inheroldage;andthisisnowthesixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.” Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”And the angel departed from her.”
