I still have 23 more chapters. Do you guys want me to shorten them and put more than one in each post? Should I put more than one chapter in each post. Do you want me to just shorten them? Or do you like them like they are?
Now that I finished asking questions, here is Luke 2.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There is a census taken throughout the Roman empire. Everyone had to return to their own towns. Joseph was a descendant of David, so he had to return to Bethlehem. There was no room in the inn, so Jesus was born in a manger.
Out side of Bethlehem, there are some shepherds. An angel appears to them and they are filled with terror. He said, "Don't be afraid. I bring you good tidings of great joy for everyone. The Savoir has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David." He tells them that they will find a baby in a manger, wrapped snugly in strips of cloth. More angels appear and praise God. They say, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth and goodwill among people."
The shepherds go and visit the baby. Eight days later, he is circumcised. Mary and Joseph give an offering of two birds. Simeon is led to the temple by the Spirit. He holds Jesus and says that he can now die in peace. (The holy spirit had revealed to him that he would not die until he saw the Lord's Messiah. Another prophet, Anna, was also in the temple. She came along while Simeon was talking to Joseph and Mary and Anna began praising God.
Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem every year for the passover. When Jesus was 12, they went again. That year they started heading home to Nazareth and Jesus stayed in Jerusalem. Mary and Joseph were not worried because they thought he was with the other travelers. They find him 3 days later in the temple. He was in deep discussion with the teachers there. Mary tells him that they were worried and searched all over for him. He replied, "Why did you need to search? You should have known I would be in my Father's house."

So that was chapter 2. Should I change anything?
Au revoir. Je m'en vais.
