I love this meditation on the shepherds, especially as I look for inspiration for my Christmas Eve sermon! Garrison Keillor once called shepherds “the parking lot attendants of the ancient world!” Maybe unfair but probably a rough uneducated lot who got to be recipients of this fabulous visitation of angels and messengers of what they saw. I also love that you bring Thomas into the story on this his feast day!

"The parking lot attendants of the ancient world." That's great. I love that.
