Every young man needs a sword

Walker ordered a knife online from a company and they started sending catalogs. James loves getting the catalogs and looking at all the knives.  James has ordered from the company and is on their mailing list. 

The other day James got a new catalog in the mail.  He pours over the pages and looks at everything in the catalog.  In the latest catalog there was a replica US cavalry sword. He has wanted a sword since we went to Master of Influence. Kirk Duncan said that every young man needs a sword as a symbol of his manhood.

He decided to order the sword with his birthday money. The day came for the sword to arrive via ups.

He climbed the highest thing he could to watch for ups.

He has ran to show it to everyone he knows.
