Author, Al Andrews walked through his neighborhood during the Advent Season. He found that he was so accustomed to the characters of the Christmas narrative that he wasn't actually "seeing" Mary, Joseph and Jesus. Standing in a drizzling rain he spent an extended time listening to what the real human beings in a lowly manger on a journey to be taxed might feel. He found that each character wanted to be known for their truth..because as he learned, they are REAL.
