My 4 year old boy roped my wife into buying him his own hammer at the farm store yesterday. This evening I walked outside to him hammering my deck screws into a block of wood in the backyard (I bought a bucket of 1000 years ago and have no current plans for them). My natural reaction is to tell him that those cost money so we shouldn’t waste them (a true statement and a lesson we’ll have to learn someday), but then I caught myself. How proud would I be in a few years to have a boy under the age of 10 who can hammer a nail with a higher level of skill than most men these days? How about if my 4 year old could do that? Well, that’s an easy question to answer. So instead I took his picture and told him how cool he was. He finished the day with 21 screws hammered home in that stump. He started and finished every one himself, and he only bent and broke 1 along the way. Any chance you get to foster a love for hard work and masculine skills in your boys, take it. $3.87 worth of screws will be nothing in comparison to a capable man to carry on your name.


Where do we begin? The rubble or our sins?
