"Don't be so daft. It's fine for Christ to be the star of the show." by Phil Abrams

100 words

- "Don't be so daft..." overheard on NPR - a story about Muslim tolerance of X-mas in Britain.


"Curtain up in five," echoed Burt's gravelly voice, the stage manager who'd seen it all. Yeshua was nervous; rightly so, His name topped the Kingman Theatre marquee in Dubuque. Expected was nothing less than divine perfection, but He faced a stranger in the dressing room mirror; someone whose life had become antithetical to His father's plan for Him - a metropolitan martyr. Forsaken now. A seven-year contract with the Rosenbaum Agency signed in red ink was His one and only chance to be idolized while touring the provinces.

"Places everybody! Places!"

Yeshua just prayed they had rigged the cross properly.
