Not sure where to put this, so feel free to move…

So I was thinking about construction projects yesterday. My father, grandfather, brother, sister-in-law and cousin are all engineers. I spent a lot of time in college working for my father. I learned that on any major construction project there are usual three key figures: the architect, the engineer and the contractor (engineers have lots of jokes about architects and contractors).

The architect comes up with the design; he is the artist, the dreamer, the visionary. He provides the big picture.

The engineer is the guy who takes the architect’s design and figures out how to make it stand. He provides the specifications on how to build the design. They are more linear thinkers, applying science and math.

Finally, once the engineer has determined how to build it, the contractor does the building. He’s the practical guy who knows how to get things done.

Does that sound like three men we know?

Well played Holy Spirit, well played.
 
Call me obtuse, but are you referring to three* specific men?* Or are you referring to the offices of Pope (architect), Bishop (engineer), Priest (contractor)? Or something else?
 
He’s talking about the more visionary pontiff Pope John Paul the Second as the Architect, and the more scholarly Pope Benedict the Sixteenth as the engineer, and finally the more pastoral Pope Francis as the contractor.

oh, that makes more sense… That is well done. Lol. God does have a funny sense of humor.
 
Speaking of God’s sense of humor. Father Jorge thought he’d take a vow of poverty, and lead a simple obscure life among the poor. God said, ha! Set him up in a Castle, and made him Pope! :rotfl: Ya just never know where God will lead you to next! He keeps surprising me. 👍
