benches for farm tables image
I live in Ontario, Canada and this is something I've never had to worry about before but tonight they said on the Weather Network that we are under a tornado watch. I live in a 2 storey house with a basement. Where is the safest place to be? How will I know a tornado is imminent? What precautions should I take? I have 3 little kids and I'm kinda scared...thanks for your help :o)
Answer
If it is a "warning", get a flashlight and bring some knittin, a book, your cat, and your bird into the basement. But if it is a "watch", stay upstairs with the weather channel on and watch it fairly closely...Don't panic, chances are you will have some seconds to act, even if it hits without warning. The weather channel can give you an idea of the incoming storm time of arrival, but it wouldn't hurt to look for your dog and get ready. If the weather start to get really ugly, I mean hail or winds, don't try to save anything...when they say "seek shelter immediately" they aren't kidding...one year we had 4 tornadoes within 10 miles of my farm...they weren't monsters, but if they had dropped down onto the house, I'm sure that I woulda lost a roof at least. If you have a sturdy table in the basement, or a work bench, it will also protect you if the the main houe is blown down...any corner in the basement is as good as another. I've been through quite a few "should we go to the basement now" times...i wouldn't count on the air getting still or anything like that...usually you see some really nasty low black clouds coming...watch for them. big hail, means that the winds aloft are very high...not a good sign either...but if the winds are that high right over you, it means the conditions are right, but you can't predict the wind or when it will cause it to bend to the earth.

What kind of projects did Jesus worked on in his carpentry career?
Harold
Answer
During his years in Nazareth, Jesus learned the carpentry trade, likely from his adoptive father, Joseph. Jesus so mastered the craft that he himself was called âthe carpenter.â
In Bible times, carpenters were employed in building houses, constructing furniture (including tables, stools, and benches), and making farming implements.
In his Dialogue With Trypho, Justin Martyr, of the second century C.E., wrote of Jesus: âHe was in the habit of working as a carpenter when among men, making ploughs and yokes.â
Such work was not easy, for the ancient carpenter probably could not buy his wood. More likely, he went out and selected a tree, swung his ax, and carried the wood home. So Jesus may have known the challenges of earning a living, dealing with customers, and making ends meet.
As the oldest son, Jesus probably helped to care for the family, particularly since it appears that Joseph died before Jesus.
âTradition declares that Joseph died while Jesus was yet young, and that the latter took up the carpenterâs trade and became the support of the family.
This finds some support in the Scriptural testimony where Jesus himself is called a carpenter, and his mother and brethren are mentioned, but Joseph is ignored.
It is quite probable, then, that the long period of eighteen years of his life, to the time of his baptism, was spent in the performance of the ordinary duties of life.â
