text: I did say in the image of Jesus Christ, who worked for probably more than 20 years of his life, which the Gospel is silent on.
  
  But it's impossible to imagine that Jesus was a slacker, that He worked irresponsibly, was lazy and inattentive, gave poor service, did shoddy work, gouged His customers, didn't listen to their needs and wants, cheated them, didn't smile to them, was unjust in how He charged people for His labor and work products, was uncreative in how He solved problems...left the hard work for His foster father St Joseph. 
  
  Let's use our reason and our imagination (both faculties of our intellect, which God gave us so that we could come to know Him better and serve Him better) to "see" Jesus as a man, a worker, a problem solver for many during His hidden years.
