Aside from the faith-based reasons I am closely committed to Jesus, I have one totally human connection to him – wood.
Jesus was a carpenter as was his father. My husband, father, and grandfather all worked with wood. My grandfather made a living as a carpenter. For my father and husband, woodworking was a profitable hobby.
On one of our trips to Israel, after a lot of haggling, my husband purchased a small piece of olive wood, too small for the carver we met to use.
After returning home, we gave the wood to a good friend who works on the lathe. He turned this little cup for me. I love the grain pattern.
The cup, with wood from the earthly home of my Savior, was created by a dear friend, and connected to my family.
It brings back loving memories every time I look at it.
of course like your web-site however you need to test the spelling on quite a
few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it
very troublesome to tell the truth then again I’ll certainly come
back again.
I’m glad you are interested in my blog and my website. I know there are a lot of errors, and am working hard on keeping them out of the blogs. I hope this summer to make many improvements to the website. I hope you stay with me and see the changes.
