I own an entire box of knives. I do not mean one or two; my box has over fifty.

My wife recently asked me, “Why in the world do you have so many knives?”

There are two reasons for my collection. First, I have inherited some, found some, and picked up a few cheap ones. Those get added to the box with little consideration.

The second reason for this vast array of knives is that each one serves a different purpose. I have butcher, fillet, hunting, and kitchen knives. They are different lengths, thicknesses, curves, and shapes. Varying jobs require unique tools.

The Church is God’s knife box.
