Jesus was a carpenter, and I now know why.

Jesus of Arimathea was chosen to be Christ, and he happened to be a carpenter, and now I know why. Even though he may never have really existed, the choice of carpenter was the best for what he was to do. As a carpenter, you have to use every bone in your body, every muscle, sinew, and brain cell.

As a carpenter myself now at 81 years old, I find my body deteriorating, and simple things and hard things I used to do are harder and harder and that is teaching me how useful a good carpenter is, and how important it is as an occupation.
