God's gift of Jesus is like a Leatherman Multitool. The tool was gleaming stainless steel with fourteen functions -- knife and saw, screwdrivers and pliers, awl and opener, and two rulers, in metric and English. From that day forward, the tinkerer went about the community ready to help in ways never before imagined -- slicing meat in the kitchen for the community Christmas Eve supper, sawing through the ice dam on the roof to help reduce the roof leak, tightening the legs of the wooden tables, smoothing the maple on the reredos and keeping his nails trimmed.
