This Is Gnn

This Is GNN
Curtis Johnson

Hello, world.  Be assured that I was neither Gabriel nor Michael.  Michael was not on a mission that I was aware of, and Gabriel had returned to base from his busy assignments with Zacharias and Mary.

I was a reporter for the Good News Network from the Highest Heaven.
Dr. Luke reported about me and my mission in the 2nd chapter of his book.  Though he did not identify me by name, I do have a name as do all of God’s creatures.  I know that it can be frustrating sometimes when we do good things and get little to no recognition.  I understand, but it doesn’t bother me.  It’s just that sometimes our names are not relevant or pertinent to God’s story.

Anyway, my job was to make one of the greatest announcements in the history of mankind.  On one dark night as shepherds tended their flock just outside of Bethlehem, Judah, I informed them of the good news of Jesus’ birth and gave the exact location of his whereabouts.

I felt deeply privileged and honored to be chosen for such an assignment.   As you know, I was not sent to the emperor in Rome, the king of Judea, or any of the great dignitaries.  Rather, I was sent to lowly shepherds in a field.  There again.  You never knew their names either.  They are the ones who saw me and an entire host of other angels.

O what a night it must have been for them!!  My co-workers proclaimed peace and good will in the listening ears of humble shepherds.  That’s right.  Everyday people like you and other mortals of this God-loved world.

Yes, with unknown names, we filed our report and completed our mission without a hitch.  We came upon this world’s stage, played our roles, and returned to heaven.  The rest is history. (Impersonation)12092016 cj PS
