I dropped the cookie dough to the baking sheet by a spoon.

I want to help community like a firefighter when I grow up.

Birth of Jesus

Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem because of an order from the Roman emperor. When they arrived they were told that there were no places to stay, all the inns were full.

They settled down on the hay in a stable with animals sleeping......

That night an exciting, wonderful thing happened: Mary and Joseph had a baby!

This wasn't just any baby, he was Baby Jesus! The creator of the whole world, the King of Kings, and the one who would save the world!

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

--John 3:16
