"A machinist is a person who uses machine tools to make or modify parts, primarily metal parts. This is
accomplished by using machine tools to cut away excess material much as a woodcarver cuts away excess wood to produce
his work. In addition to metal, the parts may be made of many other kinds of materials, such as plastic or wood products.
The goal of these cutting operations is to produce a part that conforms to a set of specifications, usually in the form of
engineering drawings commonly known as blueprints.
A machinist is usually called upon when a part needs to be produced from a material by cutting. Such a part may be unique or may
be needed in the thousands. This could include a machinery part for a production line or generally anything that can be made
from metal or plastic. Producing a part will often require several steps and more than one machine tool. Each machine tool is
designed to play a specific role in cutting away excess material. When large numbers of parts are needed, production
planning is required to map out the most efficient way to use a collection of machine tools and machinists to produce
the lot (collection of parts). The collection of machine tools may be any grouping that satisfies the cutting requirements.
Such groupings usually include milling machines, drilling machines, turning machines, and grinding machines. It might
include one of the older style multi-spindle machines, swiss-style machines or a computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine.
CNC machines are becoming the standard due to their speed, precision, flexibility, and reduced downtime while changing jobs.
Production runs consisting of large numbers of parts are more cost effective (in a local and narrow sense) and commonly referred
to as production work in the trade. Conversely, small production runs are sometimes referred to as prototype or jobbing work
although with the advent of theory of constraints and lean manufacturing, this perspecive may be changing.
Production engineers use blueprints and drawings to produce detailed specifications of the part, especially its geometry
(shape) , then decide on a strategy to make it. Machine tools are then configured by the machinist or toolsetter and
production commences. The machinist works closely with the quality department in order to insure the original
specifications are maintained in the part produced."

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember
the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing.
He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.
In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered.
So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one.
