In the literal sense. I sensed the beginnings of a cold Saturday night and on Sunday stayed in bed all morning as I felt dreadful. I even fell asleep in front of the fire Sunday afternoon. Today feels a little better but apart from going to watch Josh and Naomi's Christmas Play I stayed inside and Steve went and did the shopping.
Joshua was a sheep and his big line was a joke: Where do sheep have their hair cut? At a baa-bers! Naomi was an angel. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos or video so I cannot provide evidence.
I am glad that there was an actual Nativity story in the play (as well as Santa's grotto) but I have been reflecting on what Tim was telling us about their sermon at Church last week: How we can bear the story of baby Jesus but not the reality of God in man and His ultimate purpose of death and resurrection. I think it's probably true for most of the people watching these plays that they are not really challenged by the story of Jesus in a manger and do not want to look much further than that.
