You might notice I unofficially changed the name of my blog. I think this is fun to do. The real name of my blog is "Roady Jane." But I get sick of things. To change the name of your blog for reals, you have to reroute everybody to your new URL. And for my thousands of loyal readers, that's an inconvenience. Therefore, I just change the banner. Easy.
The other night, Mark and I were watching a movie his sister was in called "Magdalena: Released From Shame." (That's his sister, Rebecca Ritz, in blue on the Web site.) At the end, we were watching the credits and -- oh, wait! I forgot to tell you what it said at the beginning. As the movie started, it announced that Jesus was played by an actor. Back to the credits -- it had a credit for Jesus, then it had a credit for additional Jesus. I don't know what that means, but for some reason it's pretty funny to me.
At the exact same moment, Mark and I looked at each other and said, "Additional Jesus. That sounds like a band name!"
I don't have a band, but I have a blog. Additional Jesus, I've named it after you. I picture you as being the lonely younger brother of Jesus. The one who always gets picked last for everything and never gets any of the glory. And you're probably the fun one, am I right? You sing karaoke and tell great jokes and love to go TP houses? Here's to you, additional son of God.

Hey, that sounds like the name of a band.

i love it!
Years ago I met a priest who was leaving the church, I wish that I could remember his name. His job had been to translate ancient manuscripts like the Nag Hammadi. He was leaving because he had read one particular document that took hold of his imagination. It said that Jesus had a twin sister. This priest thought yes! this explains so much because if God (a neuter being) become flesh there would have to be both a male and a female aspect. The church didn't agree so he left. I always expected him to write a book but have never seen one. Anyway, this is a long way of suggesting that perhaps your additional Jesus is a woman.
I love the female-Jesus-twin concept! Makes total sense to me! I have a t-shirt that shows a Nativity scene drawing from a distance away -- Star of Bethlehem, shining above, etc. The exclamation above the manger reads, "It's a girl!". Love that too. I wear it when I need reminding or want to proclaim my nature as beloved child of God as well. :-)
I have been looking for that t-shirt with the manger and it says "its a girl". I can't find it anywhere - where did you get yours?
