Some people are laborers, which to me means work with your hands. Yes, there are many different types of work, but for this post, I’m talking about those who make a physical product with their time, effort, and talent. I have never been one of those people. I always have been a knowledge worker or educator. Nobel professions of course and I love what I do. Sometimes though, I want to make something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data can be corrupted. People can forget what you told them. But there is something about having a physical object to remind you of the craftmanship and memories. From wedding rings to pictures to ornaments to books, these all remind us of something. Heck, even cooking and baking is a physical craft, just one that we eat and it is gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been looking into doing something with my hands or something, like 3D printing that creates a physical object. I’ve checked out knitting, bead spriting, and more. Who knows what I will land on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do think there is something in our nature and faith that wants us to have a physical reminder of our belief. Maybe it’s a faith chest, a cross necklace, a family Bible, baptism pictures, something that we can hold or point to that shows us our faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
