With it being Sunday and all sometimes the thoughts drift into religion.

Today I'm wondering if Jesus Christ is still a carpenter plus what else is he doing these days?

Back in the day a carpenter was a high tech job. So when Jesus Christ was doing it you knew he was a capable guy doing a job that needed smarts and skill. When you asked Jesus Christ to make a desk for you he didn't open a box and put together the pre arranged pieces. He measured and cut and sanded everything himself.

Is he still doing it today?
I understand that he died for our sins but does that include being under the worst glass ceiling in history?

With all the people always getting an invite upstairs he must always be learning new things. Maybe he even goes back to school every once and a while. He wouldn't be a teacher though because that's too easy a job that doesn't even have a year long commitment. Whatever Jesus Christ picks it would be a career where you have to be trustworthy and would need long term dedication.

Maybe Jesus Christ is doing IT work these days. He's in charge of a giant network and he fixes everything that glitches up the lines. People send him requests and he has to help them with their problems.

Also, if we're on the subject of Jesus Christ doing new things don't you think he's sick of the music by now?

For centuries he's heard songs like "Oh Jesus Christ walk on water" "Died for our sins" "Up on the cross" I always imagine that when he hears these songs he's yelling down "Great, I walked on water...........two thousand years ago! I took up golf, anyone want to sing about that? Not only is my handicap a 3 but I cured 3 handicaps on the way to the 7th hole last weekend. Nope, don't want to disturb you, you just sing the 20,000th song about me hopping across the pond"

Plus, don't you think the cross bothers him?
Do this, imagine your favorite grandmother. Now imagine that grandmother died by slipping on a bath mat and hitting her head on the toilet. When she died you went out and had a charm made of your grandmother laying prone on that bath mat with the toilet. You think your family is going to love your new jewelry? Way to do Nana proud?

What happens if Jesus Christ runs into someone with a cross on the street on his way to pick up his dry cleaning? He just looks at them puzzled for a sec then says "Hey, I don't want to be rude but you know that I died on one of those right? I mean they NAILED me to it and they tortured me until I died. It was pretty well known and I'm just wondering why you're wearing that?"

It's gotta be a sore spot.

When I think Jesus Christ I don't think about a guy who did things in the past. I think of a guy who did them in the past and he's still doing things today.
