    Two years ago I heard about Heart of a Craftsman;an organization that reaches out to troubled boys and provides a Christian based mentorship program. As soon as I saw this I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Last year I was given the opportunity to be a builder/mentor and jumped right on it. Well, I just got back from spending a week at the camp in Broken Arrow Oklahoma and I must tell you, it was one of the absolute best experiences of my life. Pure awesomeness. I took a ton of photos and video, however due to some confidentiality issues with many of the boys, I cannot show photos with their faces

    I know these are (cough cough) street rods, but you guys will appreciate whats going on here.

    I LOVED my time as a staff member at the local boy scout camp. I think this may trump that.
