God: Michael....Come here....Go get me JoJo....I need him right away.Michael: JoJo? Are you sure, boss? I mean, you created him and all, but he’s done nothing all this time....but just lay around waiting...
God: EXACTLY! I have a special mission for him....I have needed him to lay low all these centuries, so he can really shine for me....
Michael: Okay boss....but he is really a slackard on many levels...Don’t know what good he will do ya, but I will go....
So Michael leaves and goes to the Star Storage Unit..(and you thought only humans store things)....He goes to Unit 25 and knocks on the door....
“Hey JoJo,” Michael says.....”The boss is asking for you.”
JoJo: Me? Are you sure? Is it time?
Michael: I guess so....Don’t know what you two have cooked up....but the boss wants you pronto.....
So JoJo looks in the mirror...He dusts off his shiny parts and zooms to the throne room....
JoJo: Boss, did you ask for me? Is it time....Is it really time?
God: Well, JoJo, just look at you! After all these years....I named you special...You had a kick in your step, a spark in your eyes......I named all my stars and put them in place....but you, my dear JoJo, I have held you back....Your mission begins in a few days....This Saturday to be exact.....Are you up to it?
JoJo: Oh my, God...I guess so....I mean, you know all things, right? I don’t know if I have it in me.....
God: Come here my little star....
As JoJo came near, God’s arms wrapped around him and he was warmed like nothing JoJo had ever felt before...and God breathed into his face....It sent shivers down his inner parts....until the little star doubled in size and was shining all over the throne room....The kick in his step kicked it up a notch, and JoJo was bright as could be....
God: Glow JoJo...Glow my little star....You will shine brighter than any star I have ever made...You will guide the shepherds and many others to announce the birth of MY son. It is time...There is no greater assignment. To the EAST WITH YOU....and God blew and JoJo went far up into the sky.
JoJo: O boss, I won’t disappoint you....
And his voice faded off as it went to have it’s place over the manger in Bethlehem.
JoJo was beaming....Wow, what an assignment this is....! And as he was getting comfortable in his new position....He heard a great company of the heavenly angels singing...”Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, goodwill toward all men.”
As he looked down, he could see the baby....After all, he had front row seats.....He knew Jesus personally for quite a while....but he never looked quite like this. Here He was....God turned into man....what a sight...and he could see that many were looking UP....at him....for he was to lead them to the newborn babe. Remembering his assignment, he lifted his chest, and shined even brighter than before...there was a lot riding on his shoulders...He was to shine the light on THE LIGHT....wow, it was hard for him to take it all in...
At that very moment, he heard a quiet whisper from God himself.....”Good job my little eastern star.....Shine on.....”
And so he did....and the rest is history......
