When I looked at the title, Barstools and Bethlehem, I wondered where you were going with this. I liked where it went. Good job.

Two visitors in Judea, sat drinking - drop the comma
I can't imagine how this would offend - I think Jesus would be appalled by people who are bigoted and violent in his name :-) I love your story, Susan. Brooke

Interesting scene. It was written quite well. Yet, I could not help but wonder, if the Christian was really a christian, why was he angered so quickly?

    Hi Jonathon! Well, I have seen many Christians lately, in life and in the news, losing their tempers very quickly and I was thinking Jesus isn't real happy about it. I don't know...good point tho! I personally know people who are false Christians in all senses of the term. It's sad. Thank you Jonathon...I am honored to have you take a minute to express your thoughts!! ") Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones too! Susan

Such realism here! This could happen, and I'm reasonably sure that sometimes He just needs to come to earth and clean this kind of stuff up! Thank you for sharing this story. ~patty~

    Yes! I agree...I was thinking as I was trying to write this, that He should just, and on Christmas maybe...or Easter? Take over ALL the airways, news and everything and SPEAK TO THE WORLD. I want that so badly...it would change everything. I really believe that. For now tho, we can only wait. Thank YOU, for reading and a kind and welcome review too! Merry Christmas Patty! Luv, Susan

Susan,
your flash fiction gets better every single time I read one. This one has a beautiful message about Jesus. Excellent narrative, great dialogue and very descriptive writing. In a minimum amount of words for a maximum effect you established a setting, conflict, and a resolution to your story. What a fitting story for this Sunday. Have a blessed Holiday.
Melissa.

    Hi Melissa!! Thank you so much! I really wish He would come to us and speak. I often think of how neat it would be if He would just take over ALL the television airways, maybe on Christmas day, and talk to the world. I may write a story about it! I thank you again for another wonderful and kind review! HUG! Susan

This is marvelous, short, sweet, and to the point. Flash fiction has always been a challenge to me and short Flash Fiction is still beyond my ability. I did not find this offensive, in fact I found it both delightful and uplifting. I enjoyed this very much and am quite impressed with it.
