And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival. When the festival was ended and they started to return, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents were unaware of this. Assuming that he was in the group of travelers, they went a day’s journey. Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him, “Child, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously looking for you.” He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” But they did not understand what he said to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd3e5558363645ce8ca41/96b936d7-5adc-47ef-84ba-fac4df4732f1/Screen+Shot+2023-08-15+at+9.13.27+PM.png spiritual/socio-political writings - Troublemaking as Self-Discovery - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.markprattrussum.com/writings/qr3i2sa39xd9aso7iqt88i6wyf8r7s monthly 0.5 2023-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efcd3e5558363645ce8ca41/03ecc275-f35b-4c1a-9709-579cad54a292/cs_lewis_writing.jpeg spiritual/socio-political writings - The Quaker Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools - Make it stand out C.S.
