For outlandish creatures like us, on our way to a heart, a brain and courage, Bethlehem is not the end of our journey, but only the beginning....

12/3/15: Advent Day #5 and today's quote was about the journey to Bethlehem.  But the quote went like so:

"For outlandish creatures like us, on our way to a heart, a brain and courage,
Bethlehem is not the end of our journey, but only the beginning —
not home but the place through which we must pass
if we are ever to reach home at last."
– Frederick Buechner

I like that this quote refers to the items requested by Dorothy's friends in the Wizard of Oz on the same night that the "Wiz Live" was broadcast on TV (Michael, was that on purpose??)  And Dorothy did eventually get home, but she journeyed with the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion and assisted them along the way.  I'd like to think that, in my journey, I am also helping people along the way.  It is certainly what I strive to do, and even moreso during Advent.
