Greetings friends!!
This is my first of many blogs to come. Where to start????

Hmmm.....Jesus.

I want to know what the heck Jesus was doing during the New Testament's "missing years". Star of Bethlehem.....Baby Born....Donkies....Three Kings....Then he's three...Now he's thirteen and hanging in synagogues.....Then he's a carpenter..........Boom!! He's roaming the desert and then's crucified. Errrrr................ Hold up.

Jesus was a carpenter? Have you ever met a carpenter before? In my experience, carpenters, for the most part, are lazy sacs that are looking for part-time work so they can go to the store and buy more ingredients for their bathtub crystal meth. Now, I'm not saying Jesus was a meth head by any means, but there's something there or not there.

You would think that the son of God could produce something that would have stood the test of time. The Bible doesn't even mention anything he worked on, but continuosly refers to him as a carpenter. Booze? check. Hookers? check. Bunch of dudes that apparently don't have jobs or families that they tend to? check. I believe that he was a carpenter, but I also believe his "disciples" played him up a little too much. Sure he could turn water to wine. Sure he multiplied fish. Sure he walked on water. That all seems very feasible when put it into the context of the people Jesus hung with. "What's Jesus up to?" "Not sure, but he always scores the Cabernet Glavingon (Tom Glavine Wine available at Jay's package). Well, shit, let's hang out with that mofo.

Here's another hint into Jesus' carpentry skills.......
He lived in a desert. What was using as wood? I mean, C'mon!! Will the second coming of Christ be a unemployed sailor in Nebraska? And Carl said, "I am the captain of the world. Sail with me and ye shall spend eternity at the right hand of my grandpappy." The Book of Richie, The Newest Testament
