Filled with ah\u2019s and uh\u2019s and so\u2019s. Longer periods of silence. Very \u201cnot professional.\u201d And yet it is filled with truth about the humble ways of the Divine.&amp;nbsp;  God is not so much interested in pretty presentations as He is in powerful truths underlying the presentations. It is about the message and not the medium, because the actual medium is the Spirit of God. She grabs the message and places it into the hearts of the listeners. That means the message is not about me, it is about wonder and surprise. God\u2019s ways are not the ways of humans.  And so, in this show on The Other Christmas Story I found myself stumbling along, bumbling like a drunkard, drunk on the Good News. The kind of News that thrusts itself into the hearts of the listeners\u2014all by the profound and precise medium of the Holy Spirit.  Please forgive our raw awkwardness in this show and plunk yourself down in the presence of the Holy, lying in a manger or, more accurately, lying in a feeding trough in a barn.
