Basic "guy" training

Noah's dad brought home a pocket knife for Noah - but due to the presence of a little brother at his home, Noah's "Carving" or "Whit-lin" training had to be moved offsite to grandpa's,

Noah's tecnique was well improved in just a little while - but remembering which is the sharp side of the knife can be confusing



The old piece of wood we found in the basement was a bit tough so we went out in the back yard where I had recently cut some small trees from between the garage and fence.  This green wood was perfect beginning stock

We also carved out a Cross for Easter - Noah wanted to carve a point on the bottom of the Cross so it could be used as a sword.

I did not mention to him that John the Baptist called Jesus the Word - and the Writer of Hebrews called the Word the Sword of the Spirit...all of these the most powerful use against evil in the world -

Ahh! The ultimate weapon!...The Cross!
