Years ago I was asked to do a radio show for KSL/Bonneville Communications. At first my head said no—I was a stay-at-home mother and couldn’t do a daily 3–6 p.m. job.

Stay-at-home mothers are equally lauded and adored, pitied and derided. . . . And our culture still thinks it's fine to ask mothers this frustrating and patronizing question: So what do you do all day?"
When I was growing up, every December we would read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and Matthew 2 about Christ's birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds, and the wise men.
