And I'm still thankful for the great-paying summer job I had (all thanks to my father) during my seminary years working the bottom of the ladder in the pipe-trades when all the other workers teased me endlessly for being "the man-o'-the-cloth". Good plumbers will always be my heroes. Especially when they are also faithful laymen in the church!

I still haven't purchased the converter box, and I am questioning if I will. Love/hate relationship with T.V. I have caught glimpses of these shows, and I don't know why but I do like them. They glamorize the Blue Collar. They also give legitimacy to Masculinity, and I love that. I'm reminded of Paul writing:1 Cor. 16:13 (ESV) Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. I don't think he was telling us to be perfectly groomed, limp wristed men who are offended by a crude word, or cry at bambi. I probably would like those shows if I wasn’t reliant on the rabbit ears.

I find myself whining whenever they come on, but fall into fascination within a few minutes. It is nice to see someone like my dad on TV! My hubby loves those shows.
