Problems with St Luke's nativity census
St Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus centres round a census that apparently took place “when Cyrenius was governor of Syria”. This required Joseph and his heavily pregnant wife to journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem because Joseph “was of the house and lineage of David” and Bethlehem was “the city of David”.

Chapter 1
I awoke abruptly. Like someone had shaken me out of my sleep, only to look around the room and realize I was all alone. What was it? Was it a scream? A shake? What was happening before? I can’t… I can’t seem to recall.

The Legend Of Clarice
I am Clarice, Goddess of the Ocean. Have you heard my legend? I spend my days watching over ships on the horizon as I walk the Pacific Ocean waters, helping victims cross over to a better place. Some I have saved, but few are worthy of such a gift. Unlike most goddesses, I was not born into this role - I was given the choice of life or death on November 28, 1717. Travelling aboard a slave ship on its way to Chile, Blackbeard and his pirates hijacked the ship. I saw men get shot down while we women and children walked the plank. Hundreds of years later, the screams and cries of the victims continue to haunt me. I was praying for salvation as I sank to the bottom of the ocean when Poseidon himself came to me.

Awaited Magic Part 3
Ch. 3 Where’s the Cat? The next morning, I woke with Moon in my face wanting attention. I had no idea when the last time he was fed. However, from the looks of his rounded-out belly I think he feasts on the unfortunate mice creeping around the house. I rolled out of bed and sat Moon on the floor. My alarm clock read 8:00am, so it was a little early to be rising but I wanted to examine everything in this house from top to bottom; starting with the attic. I grew curious over night thinking about what might be under those tarps near the back wall. Moon gazed up at me with a look of longing for a bite to eat. I image we brought something he could snack on before his next catch. The cat began to rub against my leg with a passionate purr.

Until that moment she had been in a haze She could remember nothing but the pain and the feeling of falling unable to return to her feet. Now she felt shut in her own body, unable to move or speak. Panic swelled in her as she struggled to break free, but as she began to feel the tips of her fingers, she felt the cloud of unconscious wash over her again.

Your Name Is Written
"How do you know my name?" said Gerald. He was skeptical of the man's claims. He kept his gaze locked onto the stranger. Kind stranger, is the term the man used when he introduced himself.
