Today is the third Sunday of Advent. In the Godly Play story this is the Sunday of the Shepherds, who were visited by the Angel bringing news of the Christ child's birth. It is a moving story - people minding their own business, going about their daily work when the Angel of the Lord shows up in all its terrifying splendor and asks them to get up and move. Go, the Angel says, don't be afraid, just go.
I wonder, is there anything you are afraid of going to do in these dark days of winter? What would the Angel of the Lord say to you, if it found you out in the fields at night? Would you be willing or able to go?
