Don’t blame me but it’s day #2 of Secret Jesus week.
Whose to blame?
This happened in my life, it happened in my kids’ lives. If Jesus is real (see yesterday for what I mean by real) then I think it happened to him as well. What do you think?

Jesus trivia answer from yesterday:
Yes, Jesus had 2 sisters (and 4 brothers), as recorded in the Gospel according to Mark, chapter 6, verse 3. The book names his brothers but does not give names to his sisters. I think they were named Ruth and Miriam, but were nicknamed Baby Ruth since she was the youngest and Miracle since she was not expected to live. Yes, I made that up.

For many years I have thought about all that wasn’t recorded about Jesus’ life, especially the ‘missing years’ from age 12 to age 30 when he started preaching. Here is day 1 of my ‘Secret Jesus’ series in anticipation of Christmas coming up soon.
Jesus’ thumb
Jesus had to be trained as a carpenter, right? It was probably his father, Joseph, who did the training since chances are he himself was a carpenter. I know when my father and grandfather taught me how to work with wood they started with teaching me how to hammer. I hit my thumb plenty of times and I have no doubt Jesus did the same thing.
Two Types of Real
Some don’t believe Jesus was real but the evidence seems to point to that he was. However, there is more than one way to be real. One of the reasons Christianity is messed up is because of the dichotomy within the church. We insist Jesus was real but build a story about him that focuses again and again on how unreal he was.
Seeing as I am pretty earthbound man, I like thinking about who Jesus was on this earth, not his identity in some spiritual realm I don’t really connect with and sometimes am not even sure exists. If he wasn’t a real human; learning and growing, then how do we relate? What are we going to learn about how to be and do in our real world?

In keeping with this being a recap week I went looking for old posts about gratitude and Thanksgiving. I found a lot. Here is my Thanksgiving series from 2009. Note the difference in drawing style from then until now.
