Greetings Dear Reader,
The life of a carpenter is one of doing what so many of us
dream. It is making a living as an
artist creating functional beauty. Two
thousand years ago this could not have been an easy occupation.
All wood was naturally sourced because you had to find your
own. Your shop was environmentally friendly
because there were no power tools.
Everything was all natural because there were no synthetics.
This particular Carpenter left his shop and became an itinerant
preacher. He took his love for creation
and transformation with him. The love
drove him to repair the world. It drove
him to give all to redeem it from it brokenness. The world responded. It nailed him to a set of rough-hewn beams to
kill him.
How do we deal with a Carpenter King? We kill him.
We reject him. We malign him
because he dared to love us with truth and compassion. What I am supposed to do is follow him in
every opportunity.
I must let him shape me.
I must become the image that he sees in my raw potential. I must follow and become beautiful and
useful.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
