tamigirlrocks,
You’re probably correct, and how much movement does one have wrapped in “swaddling clothes”?

Thanks so much for the “food of thought” tonight. As for our baby Christ whacking his little toes and hands on the side of the trough, I think his mom paid very close attention to those baby actions.

Nora,
Egads! I did not think of that. It’s like the silver-smiths in Ephesus thinking that Paul was wrecking their “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” business. Oh, what shall I do??

John,
I am disturbed by the implication of your opinion that Jesus was “most likely” a stone mason. What will happen to all of the “My boss is a Jewish carpenter” bumper stickers?
