Monologue Excerpt

Gold, frankincense and myrrh.  The more I think about them, the more appropriate baby presents they become--for this baby.  Gold--you've enriched my life and as a man you will be enriching other lives, far more than gold ever could.  Frankincense, just like incense, for certain ones you will be a sweet aroma of life they will seek out and desire--for others, a stench of death they will seek out to destroy!  And the myrrh...ah Jesus, even now I can see following you will be hard, a kind of death.  Death to the old way, but life--real life will result.

Oh, I hear your father calling, Jesus.  Something about an angel dream and a trip to Egypt.  So I was right about the gold.  I wonder about the frankincense and myrrh....
