Given some of the discussion in this thread and in at least one other concerning Mark Driscoll and Rob Bell, and coupled with the mention of the Christmas concert I made earlier, I was reminded that sometimes truth is truth where you find it — even if not in scripture.

We are now a couple of weeks after Christmas, but one of the "lighter songs" for the younger ones that they did in that concert was The Little Drummer Boy. One of those songs that you naturally think of as just fluff. But that night I had a different realization. While the picture of a kid playing a drum for Jesus in the manger is silly, it also provides a different kind of view of people bringing gifts to the new King. The wise men, however many there actually were, brought costly gifts. But for many of us, all we have is our life. So that is what we bring. And this silly little song says it so well.
