Friend Keith [yes I do have a friend other then my puppies] said one day, he seen a bumper sticker. The thing read. "I work for a Jewish Carpenter."

These words put me to thinking about a few things. Isn't it strange the things we read in the Bible. Jesus came to earth, the way he did. Born in such humble way. The King of Kings. He grew up to manhood. Learned to be a carpenter. He started to go about teaching.

He would talk to a crowd of one person or many thousands. You say how could one person be a crowd? Well you did read about him talking to this one person. A crowd of people has since read what was said. You see there is nothing in the Bible that is a waste of words. There is a reason for each and every word the way it is said, or wrote.

Another thing he said was along the lines of making some fishers of men. I take that to be fishers of women too. I notice any more the little fish shaped metal things on the backs of cars.

I once heard a preacher say he wouldn't have one on his Lincoln, or his wife's Caddie either. I took that to be the man was ashamed to say he worked for the Big Fisher of mankind. I did notice the political stickers on the back of his car.

Some of Jesus last words were... John 14;2.. In my fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

I have heard preachers say this is wrong wording. I think this, and it is just my thinking. Is not heaven all of Gods house? Here again Jesus, just think, here he is a carpenter, building you the most wonderful mansion to have for your very own. What a wonderful thought.

It is writen. John 3;16...... We all should know that one. What a most wonderful thought. It is so simple. . What gets me is people that run about with one must do other things to get to Heaven..

Those lines cover lots of ground. It says " BELIEVE WITH ALL THY HEART."

Yes I hope I'm working for a Jewish Carpenter. Sure hope not working for that other guy. He and his gang of thugs is trying to burn down the works of Jesus. The Jewish Carpenter....The Big Fisher..... The King of Kings.... JESUS.
