Would Jesus wear a Rolex?

With all apologies to Ray Stevens and referenced televangelists, I would like to suggest Jesus may have worn the timepiece. I don't think a cursory reading would show JC to be into ostentatious or conspicuous consumption. Yet he was accused of hangin with hoes and IRS agents and enjoying some of the finer gastronomic offerings of the top shelf crowd. He'd have been capable of knowing time without the trapping, and could appreciated the difference between Swiss excellence and a cheap armband quartz. I envision he'd tasted both the Boone's Farm and Dom Perignon. He was neither addicted to expensive taste nor to reverse snobbery. He would not have flaunted and the Roman soldiers would have been pleasantly surprised in playing craps. I guess I need to know my own motives and not judge others for what I project them to be.

Why ask why?

As I begin this process, I ask myself, as always, 'what do I want?' , by this action. A friend has encouraged me to begin. What will I accomplish? As a charter member of OPA(other people anonymous), I know I cannot change others, so logically, that's out. I don't want a narcissistic regurgitation of analyzing my navel, and the lint potentially therein. My friend's blog was very well written and informative and entertaining. Should this be baring my soul? Is confession good for me, or am I entering, what some appear to utilize as another mass opiate? Who would I influence? Is it like Twitter or facebook - where the following is at times seen as notches on my revolver? Referencing John the Baptist, Jesus asked, 'what did you come to see?' would I gain notoreity as perhaps George Will? Perhaps there is a stream within me, once sluice gate is released, freeing a river of life-giving force? Is there within me a masterpiece or masterpeace waiting for the canvas? For now, I will wrestle, go to the mat, with myself. Perhaps this can be my temporary Grail. It is a new beginning - why ask why - just do it!
