On that blessed Christmas morn, as the newborn baby Jesus lay in the manger and Mary and Joseph marvel at what has happened in their lives, the angelic host appears to the shepherds in the surrounding hills and proclaims the birth of the Messiah. The angels get a lot of attention, and rightly so, but what about the shepherds? What were they thinking that night? God chose these ordinary men to be the first witnesses, and the first evangelists who would share the Good News. A reminder to us that God still works through ordinary people like you and me.
