This Christmas season, I'm reposting some things I wrote last year.
The other day, I was thinking about the song of Mary in Luke 1. It was actually a pretty subversive thing to say in that day. I was wondering what Mary's song would sound like in the 21st Century.
Who would be the rulers in today's world? Who would be the proud? Who are the rich? Who are the humble and the hungry?
What in our consumer driven culture could the song speak to? What would Mary have to say to the Church?
What does it mean today that the King has come and is coming again? What would happen if those of us who say we follow this King lived as if we really did?
Just some questions rolling around in my head.
Any thoughts?

Probably those evil wall streeters :)
And their friends in government?
I tend to see most (but not all) of the govt folks as pawns of powerful lobbies and their own egos. Of course some of those talking heads are pretty rich and proud too.. not to mention the televangelists :)
