center stage

::: jesus coming into this world as a helpless baby :::

...the profound truth of jesus being our infant-immanuel takes center stage during christmas...

...so it was altogether fitting that today -- as members and friends of the asian access kansai team gathered to celebrate christmas...

...the children took center stage as we sang songs celebrating our infant-immanuel...

...the son of God as delicate and dependent as adorable nina in wendi's arms...how profound...

...all the little ones got into the act...annie on the keys...

...kendrick on vocals...

...fostered by the little ones, we bigger folks got into the act...

...twirling...

...tasting...

...talking (angela, thanks for coming down from kanto!)...

...treasuring (yeah, we're sad that we can't understand the boxes yet, but soon we won't need the kids' translations)...

..."thanks, tim, for coming all the way from sapporo (north japan) to see me!"...

...says molly, tim's best friend : P and all-around superdog!...

...what a wonderful blessing this sisterhood has been for claire...

...with our little ones taking center stage tonight, we're reminded that the son of God was as fully human as he is divine...our infant-immanuel...what a mystery...and what could be a more fitting way to celebrate this truth than from the singing lips of little ones!...
