I was wondering how good a carpenter Jesus was. <br /> <br />Do we just assume that because he was God’s son <br />he could run rings around other carpenters? <br />I mean, was he literally God’s gift to carpentry? <br /> <br />Or did he have trouble with tongue-and-groove <br />constructions and hardwood flooring? <br /> <br />I wouldn’t begrudge him if he was a bit of a klutz. <br />It’s difficult work. <br /> <br />You know that scene in the movie “Witness” where <br />everyone’s building that barn? Well, do you think <br />Jesus would have joined in or would he have <br />done something else? <br /> <br />Not that he’d be a slacker. <br />But maybe he just felt more comfortable <br />helping the women serve lemonade. <br /> <br />You can’t really blame him. <br />Carpentry isn’t for everyone. <br />And that was back <br />before there were electric belt sanders. <br />He probably got tired of sanding.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/was-jesus-a-good-carpenter/
