Ushers will be human,” he tells them. The North Oak Choir Special to the Chronicle As the man sits down to read a book, he hears a series of loud thumps at the window in the next room — a tiny bird repeat- edly crashing into it, apparently wanting to get inside the house. The man also notices a flock of the little birds huddled to- gether in the yard on the frozen Charity in cycles ground. Filled with pity for them, the man goes out to his barn, opens the door and tries to get the birds to go inside. But not even a trail of bread- crumbs will get them to leave their huddle. He tries chasing them, scar- ing them, but they only fly around and refuse to enter the barn to get out of the storm. In frustration, the man thinks, “I’ve got to do something or they’ll die! If only I could com- municate with them — help them understand that I’m trying to help them, not hurt them. “If only I could speak their language,” he thinks. “If only I could become a bird —.” “At that precise moment,” Har- vey would say, “the man heard the church bells chiming ‘O Come All Ye Faithful,’ proclaim- ing the Good News that God has become one of us, to be with us, and he bowed his head and sank to his knees in the snow.” It’s a saccharine story and a bit hokey for 21st century peo- ple, but it’s based on one of the most profound truths: God be- came man to be with us, to ex- perience life as we experience it, to be “tempted in every way, just as we are — yet he did not sin” (Hebrews 4:15), to speak our language.

No. 1 Alabama heavy favorite vs No. 11 Florida for SEC championship Paul Newberry AP sports writer

ATLANTA — Alabama’s slump lasted all of one season. After failing to reach either the Southeastern Conference championship game or the College Football Playoff a year ago — what qualifies as a subpar season in Tuscaloosa — the Crimson Tide is back on track to claim another national title. Nick Saban’s top-ranked team (10-0, No. 1 CFP) has successfully navigated — dominated, actually — an SEC-only gauntlet of a regular season brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The Tide had won every game by at least 15 points. Its average margin of victory is a whop- ping 32.7 points. Now, it’s on to the league title game in Atlanta as a heavy favorite Saturday night against No. 11 Flor- ida (8-2, No. 7 CFP), which likely ruined its hopes of reaching the four-team playoff with a shocking home loss last weekend to LSU. “It’s been a very disruptive year from the whole COVID standpoint,” said Saban who was stricken with the virus himself and couldn’t coach in an Iron Bowl victory over rival Auburn. “But our players have done a good job of handling that, shown a lot of maturity.” Saban has built what is very likely the most dom- inant dynasty in college football history over his 14 years at Alabama. Six SEC titles. Five national championships. At age 69, he shows no signs of slowing down. Just this week, Alabama landed what appears to be the top-ranked recruiting class in the country for 2021. “It’s all part of the culture that we try to create,” BRAD McCLENNY/The Gainesville Sun Saban said. “When people come here, that’s the ex- Florida tight end Kyle Pitts (84) scores a touchdown against Kentucky in Gainesville, in this Nov. 28 file photo. pectation that they have.
