If you cannot find the excerpt box, you can turn it on by going to the Screen Options tab at the top right hand corner of the screen, right under your screen name.
Open the Screen Options and make sure the Excerpts is checked off. If it is not checked off, click on the box to turn it on. You should only have to do this once. Note that all of the options in the Screen Options Box must be turned on in order for the system to operate properly.
Also note that the Excerpt box may pop up in the right hand column or underneath the text entry window, so look for it in both places.

Yes, indeed, he was….

Actually Jesus was never a refugee because there is no evidence that he ever set foot in Egypt….or anywhere else for the matter.

I wondered about that. Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem on pilgrimage.

I didn’t play along. How about this:
Jesus, too, was a member of a maligned minority.

And please don’t start a headline with a numeral.

Mary & Joseph were on pilgrimage to Bethlehem but tradition has it that they went on to Egypt in response to Herod’s efforts to kill Jesus. It could be apocryphal, of course, but it is tradition and puts Jesus in the position of the people fleeing Central America now to save their children.

Yes. The import here is not abt historicity. It’s abt the power of what people and cultures come to take as true, and the attendant symbolism.

…and the Power, Jonna, is in Story, yes.

Jesus, too, was mortal.
07/26/2019 @ 6:52 pm
Seems to have been.

If he wasn’t, the whole story would have no value for mortals.
