As a result of my serving as a hospital Chaplain, Linda and I were invited to a local church banquet held by a large Sunday School class in our area.It's a church with strong Bible teaching, and the SS class teacher, a lawyer and City Attorney for four different towns in our area, headed up an excellent program.He handed out 12 questions and Some things you may not know about the birth of Christ as recorded in Luke. He said, the word Host in that story, means Army of at least 10,000.Wow. If that is true, the enormity of it all adds even more power to the story. I had never heard that Host means Army of at least 10,000.

Just sayin.Doyl
