Rhonda2,

I agree with the majority of opinion that holds that Joseph had already
passed sometime between Jesus' twelfth year & the beginning of his ministry,
which commenced shortly after his baptism.  Actually, I seem to remember
having heard it being proposed in a teaching some years ago.  But, something
that occurred to me in reading the replies to your original message is this,
Why did Jesus need to appoint a provider for his mother?  I.E. it is very
clear from scripture that Mary had other children.  James leaps to mind
immediately.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hay guys,
well it's early/late which ever you prefer, but mark and I were talking 
about something and we thought it would be nice to discuss with all of you 
on the list.
we do get references to Mary and her feeling's as our Lord was placed on the

cross and all that he endured there.
What do you guys think about Joseph and his feelings and what he might be 
thinking during Christ's crusifiction?
Rhonda2
