Wednesdays are my day to write a "highlights" post for the RevGalBlogPals blog. Today two of the bloggers were posting a "Gospel birthday meme". It goes like this: take the month and year of your birthday and look up the corresponding chapter and verse in each Gospel.
Here's mine--January 28th is the birthday.
Matthew--no 28th verse in the first chapter.
Mark --" News about him quickly spread all over the whole region of Galilee."
Luke -- "The angel went to her and said, ' Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Now we're talking!
John -- "This all happened at Bethany, on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing."
Try it yourself--what are your results?

From another January celebrator:
John- He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Luke - Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
Mark - And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."
Matthew - and Josiah the father of Jeconiah[a] and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.
My results are posted. Quite a contrast in tone and content.
I am very dubious about MY results! Go see them and tell me if I am in some trouble?
