Today is Friday, December 7th, 2007; Karen's Korner #1205

Nowadays if something needs to be told, we just send out an email to everyone on our email list who we think might want to get our message. That's we do at our church.
 
But what about those who don't have email? We remedied that a few weeks ago when we made up a call tree for those without an email and/or computer. The minister or secretary calls three people. Those three call three, and those three are to call three. Any time we use the 'tree', we are only three calls away from the first caller. But do you know how many people learn about the late-breaking-news? Forty!!
 
It's easy to see how rumors are spread without telling too many!
 
But what about good news and positive comments? Maybe today is the day to tell three people, who will tell three people, who will......
 
That's how the Christmas story of old spread. The Good News was experienced and then it was told and retold. Luke 2:11-20 (in part):
 
"Don't be afraid!" the angel said. "I bring you the most joyful news every announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior--yes, the Messiah, the Lord--has been born tonight in Bethlehem'.......suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others --the armies of heaven--praising God!.......the shepherds said to each other, 'Come on! Let's go to Bethlehem! Let's see this wonderful thing that has happened........they ran to the village and found their way to Mary, Jospeh, and the baby........the shepherds told every what had happened and what the angel had said about the child.....all who heard their story were astonished  ........then the shepherds went back to their fields and flocks, praising God for the visits of the angels and because they had seen the child....."
