A wise man will not believe all conspiracies –
Only a foolish man will doubt all conspiracies.

“In the Bleak Midwinter” (stanza 2,3,5)
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
Christina Rosetti, sister to Dante Rosetti, was born this date in London. She died 12/29/1894 also in London. See “Love Came Down at Christmas” and “None Other Lamb”
