“I am the Lord’s servant. May your word to me be fulfilled.”  This is what Mary said in reply to the Angel Gabriel’s pronouncement that she was going to bring forth baby Jesus.  Mary’s faith and bravery cannot be overstated, not only believing that God would do the impossible but also trusting him to keep her safe; pregnancy outside of marriage was not something taken lightly in Mary’s day.  We could all stand to be a little more like Mary, don’t ya think?
