Hi Everyone, I am just getting started here on Christian Forums. I am looking forward to participating in discussions with fellow members here. By trade I am a mechanical engineer in the medical device industry. My wife and I have been married for 20 years, and we have four lively children, and eight squawking parakeets.

My passion is helping other people grow in their connection with Christ. The Bible centers on the grand theme of union with Him. In fact, I just started a YouTube channel called "Christ In Our Veins." The first video series is a study of this topic in the book of John. When I get new videos posted, I will try to let folks know here. They could serve as discussion starters.

My son is a computer engineer. His cousin wants to get him a job for the Veterans hospital to build medical devices for people that are paralyzed. Right now all the jobs seem to involve building the assembly line in the factory. He interned for Smuckers and everyone that works for them has a college degree.

It is nice that you are out working in the real world. I talk to people on here that come up with some of the most crazy ideas that I know would not work in the real world. I did construction work for over 20 years and people expect us to be able to get the job done. That means we have to predict the future and know what is going to work and what is going to fail. Esp when you clip on you want to know it is not going to fail and it is going to hold you.

It is good that the resurrection power of God is at work in our life. If we do mess up at least we know that God is there to lift us up and He has us covered. He gives His angels to watch over and protect us.

Thank you Joshua! Even in the med device industry, engineering skills only get a design so close. Because of this, the testing requirements are very high. Gotta verify everything. Like you say, if your life depends on it, you have to know it is not going to fail.

Lockheed Martin is looking for people to write code for their new sensors. After the problem that Boeing has had with two planes crashing, they are having problems finding people to do the job. I am amazed that their first attempt to fix the problem actually made the problem worse. It looks like the government is going to ground those planes for a year while they get the bugs worked out of their program.

I feel sorry for the engineers responsible for those crashes. That is a terrible weight to carry. Those planes should most definitely be grounded until they work things out. In the med device industry, there are FDA-mandated recalls for failing products. The manufacturers have to fix the issues before they continue selling product. Seems like a similar situation with the planes.

Welcome, Jeff, to CF! May the Lord empower you to effectively communicate how vital is our living fellowship & connection to our Lord & Savior. We are the branches & He is the vine. Apart from His life given to us & our connection to Him by the indwelling Spirit, we are nothing & can accomplish nothing for God.

'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal LIFE.'
