Really good Christmas thoughts

Veronica, who blogs at Toddled Dredge, is writing a beautiful, well-researched, and thoughtful series of essays on the genealogy of Christ throughout the Christmas season. I'd like to direct your attention specifically to her thoughts on Tamar: this is the best explanation and exposition of the text that I have ever encountered. Veronica's other Christmas posts discuss Jesus as descended from David, and Rahab the Caananite prostitute. Be sure to visit her site each day to read the latest essay!
