Thanks for the kind words guys. I tell you, wood turning time is
disappearing lately. but now and then, even 5 or 10 minutes helps to restore
the soul. There is a very real sense that creativity is prayer if the desire
is there to connect with the Creator. It is interesting that in the Chistian
setting, each aspect of the Trinity is also the Creator. Neat, eh?


The way I see things, Jesus liked to work with wood and his Dad is an
organic gardener (on a grand scale!).

(NB: at the time when Jesus was a carpenter, that trade started by
buying a standing tree (or two) and carried on until the house was built
AND furnished. Whatever passed for lathe work in those days, it is
likely that Jesus did it.)
