Week 3 Day 5 : BUILDER

Well, based on popular demand, our builder of the day is…
Bob the BUILDER.

 

I don’t know much about this guy. (You’re wondering whether I actually do or not.) My recommendation is to check out the website. It’s www.bobthebuilder.com. The first thing I notice is that you can check out the site in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, and German. Yes, I do know these languages. Actually, now that I checked the website out, my advice is this. Don’t check it out. It’s kinda dumb. But, if you’re into computer games, you can play a kickin’ game of tic-tac-toe (Personally, I won more games than I lost. If you lose, some weird character gives a weird weasel-monkey laugh. It’s the noise that a construction worker would make if they were laughing while using a huge jackhammer. ((Have you ever seen that, by the way? Well, I bet the four other guys he was working with probably did. You know how whenever you pass a construction site, you see one guy working (maybe) and then another 5 just watching. I know, I worked in construction one summer. I made sure that I was one of the 5 watching.))) Where was I Oh yeah, and I also played a maze game. If you don’t figure that one out, Tommy’s gonna have to hit you over the head with a tack-hammer, ‘cause you’re a retard. (That only goes for adults. Kids are exempt from that last statement. Although I don’t know why any kids would be getting this. Tommy Boy reference. Please don’t take offense.) Oh, Bob also has friends. One’s a bulldozer. One’s a 4-wheeler. One’s a steam-roller. We, as builders, have friends too. They are called the 4-spiritual laws, Satisfied books, More than a Carpenter, www.everydetroitstudent.com, and any of the thousands of resources out there that help us point people to Christ and answer questions.

 

But the great thing about being a builder is this: anyone can do it. The difference between you and the 5 construction workers is that you don’t have to just sit around and watch. Get in there and make it happen. If you haven’t taken that step this week, challenge yourself to do it today. When your friends tell you about the reasons they don’t believe, think about Bob. And then build bridges over or around those issues. Bob would.
