“Where Are All the Important People?” (ink on paper, 8″x8″)

I remember during one Christmas season as a pastor of a church I brought a nativity scene made with rough olive tree wood from around Bethlehem. I talked about how unseemly it was and no important people were there. It was a rather uppity church with important people there and I could hear people squirming in their seats. It took some nerve to keep going.
