The carpenters

Some of you may already know that my wife and I are building a new home on Lake Hartwell.  We have been planning for a while and finally got started last month.  Things are proceeding slowly due to "the weather" and "the COVID", but some progress is being made.  We are thankful that we don't have any real deadline to move, so we are working hard to enjoy the process.   I came across this article written by a woman who is also building a home, and her experience has been positive so far.  She states that the workers are delightful and seem to take pride in their work and actually enjoy their work.  It made her start thinking about how our current society dictates that young adults need to have a college education (or 2 or 3) to make a difference in our world.   It seems that we have boxed out the possibilities of people being successful building, farming or fixing toilets.   Jesus was a carpenter and his disciples were fishermen.  I think her ideas are interesting and true.  I would love to know what you think.
