Just re-read my name.
(No offence meant to anyone with this example!) If someone addicted to marijuana is called a "pothead" then someone addicted to Minecraft is a...

...Ok, maybe it's not THAT addictive (reality does take priority) but yeah, I'm stuck being a blockhead!

Everyone knows they have to have life. Once Jesus is the Center, we have Life. What's the difference? Why it's much more than one is being capitalized.
Before we find the Abundant Life Jesus offers, we may be living out life, but we're not too focused on the entire thing, we're too busy with that little word in the center: IF. "If I had the money", "If I took that class", "What happens if..."
I don't know about you, but I don't live my IF, I live my LIFE in it's entirety! (A life of just "if" is in fact very terrifying!)
Jesus helps us focus on everything in our life and not worry so much about that small distracting word in the middle of everyone's life: IF. Once Jesus is the center of our Life, worry about IF can indeed vanish.
There you go! A 40 minute sermon in less time than it takes to drink a cup of coffee!

No complaints. ^_^ That was good stuff.
Wombat marines?

A tiny, but worthy soldier. A scary, well trained individual. Small, fast, tough to spot, never seen approaching within it's underground tunnel system. I wouldn't want to fight this nocturnal herbivore...
**tilts his head**
...Hmmmm, maybe you mean the weapon? 120 caliber? Four rounds per minute? Effective up to about 1500 miles?
Nope, it's way before my time, I know nothing about it...
**smiles**
...Because I have never been to the UK.

I was thinking the first one. I didn't know there was a real vehicle named wombat. Good for the UK.
Wood craft?

Oh, I'm sorry.
Years ago I was pretty good with making things with wood. Years ago there was a chess set offered by Avon. I made a chess board for them in my last foster home. In fact I was the only student in my HS for years to get 100% on EVERY wood project made. I miss working with wood!

Even though I have no teeth I can still whistle!
Wait, that's not an "s". Sorry. Happens when you get old.
*smiles*
I have in possession to this day a sword I whittled out of a 2x4 about 20 years ago. It's not grand, don't truly look super or even worth mentioning to be honest, but it does have a good handgrip, clean design from pommel to blade tip and is always available should the unforeseen happen. And yes, I have had to use it twice. Once in self defense (just showed it and aggression was gone lol just walked out the door) and the other time was to reach under the refrigerator.
Other than that I've made hundreds of trillions of toothpicks. I somehow missed the instruction handout documents on that skill...

Metal work?

A good solid question!
I personally haven't done anything with metal. However just that word 'metal' opens many other topics I can relate it to:
- I've watched a sword maker create a beautiful weapon from scratch.
I owned three sword/dagger sets in my lifetime.
I am not proficient with a sword, but I can make it work for me.
I have played Metal Marines and beat it three times.
I think mercury is a beautiful metal.
A game called 'World of Goo" involves a place to build a tower. The basic structure support involved is similar to that used in real life high rise construction framework I-beams.
There are plans to develop a mining industry in space on meteors for many different metals.
Heavy Metal Music (in my opinion) should have been outlawed at it's creation.
Whew! All that thinking made my brain turn to molten tin!

In my lifetime I've laid brick, tile and flooring. I've worked with a remodeling company repairing things from a small hole in drywall to replacing an entire bathroom.
As for construction Tech, you might wish to look into World of Goo out of curiosity...
