It’s beginning to look a lot like

CHRISTMAS!!! Well, as much as possible, considering it’s still in the 70s here. I’m not complaining about the heat, I hope it stays as warm as possible for as long as possible.
We’re watching an old movie, “King of Kings” (1961), starring Jeffrey Hunter as Jesus. (I’m going to have a hard time watching him without thinking of Captain Pike of Star Trek.) Rip Torn plays Judas, which I think is terrific casting.
As I was watching the beginning, I remembered that some people believe that Mary didn’t have other children, and they claim that the “brothers” of Jesus were Joseph’s sons by a prior marriage. Then I realized that if Joseph had had other children, he sure didn’t take them with him when he went to Bethlehem, the brothers didn’t go with Joseph and Mary when they fled to Egypt, and there is no definitely mention of them when Jesus got left behind in Jerusalem when He was 12. (I just checked Luke 2 to be sure.)
I have come to the conclusion that Mary and Joseph did have other children after Jesus’ birth, or that Joseph was a neglectful father, lol.
I’m going back to the movie, some guy is creeping around on some rocks right now. (Funny, I don’t remember that mentioned in the book of Luke.)
