Here is one about a Journey..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3 Kings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The wind continued to bite but still they carried on.<\/p>\n The 3 men hadn’t come this far to give up at the last hurdle. Succeed or die.<\/p>\n That was the harsh wind of reality than fought them at every step. For only a little time before this, the 3 had been enjoying a quiet fruitful and fulfilling life. Life was good and their people smiled upon them.<\/p>\n Then the smiles were no more.<\/p>\n That was back in a simpler time.\u00a0 A time when everything seemed fine. Still, they didn’t imagine a journey would take them to where they now stood.<\/p>\n History would one day show that no-one did.<\/p>\n Their final destination was not the only surprise.<\/p>\n After all these were 3 men of power and high standing, Lords of all they surveyed.<\/p>\n They were delegators, they gave orders, they orchestrated.<\/p>\n They did not take on adventures into the unknown.<\/p>\n Not until now. This journey that\u00a0had been long and hard but they know they had to undertake all that was demanded of them. One way of another.<\/p>\n Succeed or die.<\/p>\n They\u00a0had been cast into a journey of a thousand dark miles, a long gruelling journey, through the cold biting air with failure\u00a0waiting at every turn.<\/p>\n With every slow step forward against the wind, they each remembered how it had come to this crazy adventure.<\/p>\n The journey had seen the 3 men band together in one common glorious all consuming goal.<\/p>\n A goal demanded by their people.<\/p>\n Their task was a simple task yet also a magnificent task; Magnificent in both name and intention.<\/p>\n Their task was to Find the Messiah!<\/p>\n Their people who were seemingly happy had suddenly changed and now felt a higher yearning. The smiles gave way and cold faces faced the Kings. The people looked to the Kings to\u00a0 help deliver the Messiah and help them find the blessed truth within the Messiahs message and this would deliver happiness, love and peace to the peoples hearts and minds.<\/p>\n The Kings knew they had no choice.<\/p>\n Succeed or die.<\/p>\n The journey had taken them under the blanket of that cold sky across many lands and encountering many strange peoples; Some positive about their hopes for a brighter future and some decrying their claims as shameful sad fantasy.<\/p>\n The Kings met praise and rejection as the same and\u00a0carried on in their search.<\/p>\n They sought out the best advice, they listened to everyone: from the people in the fields to the cleverest seers in Ivory towers.<\/p>\n They left no stone unturned from the sea to the mountains and followed every lead from their homesteads to the lands beyond the horizon.<\/p>\n They battled on through every false lead. They were resolute and refused to let any withering whisper of hope dying on the wind dismay them.<\/p>\n The Kings knew they had no choice.<\/p>\n Succeed or die.<\/p>\n They had journeyed on knowing that time was short and they had to complete the journey before that brightest of all the stars would rise clearly into view.<\/p>\n Finally, amazingly, they had now\u00a0completed their journey. They had arrived at the humble dwelling place of the Messiah<\/p>\n Fortune had smiled upon them as they gathered their treasures and turned to approach their final destination.<\/p>\n They did not speak, there was no need for words between them. The 3 kings gasped in awe as the room was suddenly bathed in light and there before them, truly was the Messiah.<\/p>\n Not only that but the Messiah was\u00a0smiling before them. Before them and upon them.<\/p>\n Taking a few seconds to catch his breath, the leading King then humbly said<\/p>\n “Brendan, I am Dermot Desmond, this is Peter Lawwell and this is John Park. We have come to ask you to lead Celtic in Paradise. Our People, I mean,\u00a0YOUR People await you and the Champions League qualifiers aren’t far away. You can have any help you need!”<\/p>\n Brendan Rodgers ushered the men further inside and continued smiling as he closed\u00a0over the door.\u00a0 After all it was as if all his Xmases had come at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is one about a Journey.. 3 Kings The wind continued to bite but still they carried on.

\nIn truth, they knew they had no choice. They couldn’t give up.
\nNo, In fact that was incorrect,\u00a0 the men knew by now that they did have a choice, a binary choice:<\/p>\n
\nThe men bowed their heads and moved forward, hiding from the wind, and all thinking “How had it come to this?”
\nNone of them had seen this coming not even a few weeks before the journey began.<\/p>\n
\nIn different ways, for each lived in a separate world, they were all living lives in relative luxury and near adulation.<\/p>\n
\nThen everything started to fall, and the men feared losing their hold completely like some long lost Pharaohs of yesteryear.<\/p>\n
\nNot until this journey.<\/p>\n
\nThe leader of the 3, the rich King of the largest domain, stepped forward towards the location of the Messiah and led the others on, all leaving the cold dark of night behind as they stepped inside.<\/p>\n
