You know the stories, you've heard them told.
Those great old stories of the prophets of old.
I've heard them too, and many times said
but I often wonder, how many have read...
those stories themselves and know them all the way through?
because the details commonly accepted sometimes are not true,
like the story of Noah and the deluge from the Heavens-
the animals went in...not only by two's...but also by sevens!

In every depiction, many just except what they see.
And how many wise men? Do you suppose three?
There were three gifts...gold, frankincense, and myrrh...
but the number of wise men is only a blur.
Who was there that night to witness the greatest gift to this Earth?
Only the shepherds, a step-father, and the one who gave birth.

So, when you hear a story from those great old books...
sit down and make time to take a closer look.
Read the story yourself, ask the Holy Spirit to tell you the truth.
Then you can dispel some of those myths that you've heard from your youth!
