Not as in opposed to, but the opposite. I was asked to make a barn roof sign like the “See Rock City” that are around this area. This one says “see Blairs Valley Boarding Stables”. It was fun having a serendipity incident with the flaky paint stencil. I should finish it with another two or three hours of work.
I’m not comparing myself with these guys, but here’s an interesting Bible verse that talks about God giving people skill in a craft. It’s from Exodus chapter 31:
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: Exod 35:30; 1Chr 2:20; 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
