Our Fort (My Rendition)

Howdy y'all!
So I guess no one cared for my last post. Oh, well. I thought it was great. Tonight we are working on cards for some friends. Here is the drawing I did for my friend's letter:
An accurate rendition of our tree house.
If you wonder how I did it, here's the basic breakdown:
I drew the picture.
I scanned it onto my laptop and opened it in GIMP.
After making a few photo tweaks, I started texturizing the image. After about an hour of work (I forgot to save and messed it up a few times,) I finally came up with the picture. Hope you all enjoyed the post!
P.S. - I removed the music player for a while because it is doing something weird with Flash. Hope to have it up soon...
Y'all have a great night / evening /morning (I have international friends LOL)

      No, Mom didn't understand what I was trying to say (I typed it at about midnight when only half of my brain was active, and NOT the thinking part) Your comment was fine, don't worry about it. :-)

  2. I tried to give it a sort of paper cutout style.

The God of Second Chances

At tonight's (a few weeks ago) Bible Study, a particular thought jumped out at me. Though not completely related to what we were studying, my mind sort of went off on this tangent. Also, remember that these are a finite human being's thoughts and not the inspired Word; therefore, they are not infallible.
God is NOT the God of second chances. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" - Hebrews 11:27 We are given just one life to live and one death - after that, we face the judgment. Those who have not put their absolute faith in the saving work of God's Son, Jesus Christ will face Him at the Great White Throne Judgment to give an account for the sin in their lives before being sentenced to eternal damnation in the Lake of Fire. There is no reincarnation, no chance to repent after death, no way to live life over again. It's simply death, then judgment. After that, it's eternity. Eternal punishment for the unrepentant soul.…

Safety Day '15 (Part 2)

Hey folks!!
And now is the time for the promised second post! This could very well be a milestone in blog history. My blog history, at least. I almost think this may be more of a catalog for my own thoughts since I haven't posted in forever, but a few people read the last one, so I'd hate to disappoint them with no follow up post. So where was I? Ah yes, back to the retelling of the events of Brandon Safety Day 2015. Well, here go some more pictures, this time coming from Hannah's camera!

Safety Day 2015 (Part 1)

Hey y'all!!!
It's time for another post... I think. First off, I passed Firefighter 1 and so I now have my new helmet! It's a lot heavier than my old one, but it's like having stripes on my shirt. :)
Now that we've got that bit of news out of the way, Saturday was exactly one year since the day I asked about joining Brandon Fire. And quite a few years before that was the most awesome safety day ever with helicopters and a fire to put out... but that's a little beyond the scope of this post. The other exciting thing about today was that we get to do stuff for kids and that is one of my favorite parts of being a firefighter! Safety Day is something we have every year. There's usually a police cruiser, a few fire apparatus, an ambulance, and something to do with bikes. Kids can bring their bikes in for tuneups, get free helmets and check out all the emergency services vehicles. I loved going to them when I was little and I'm sure my younger siblings do as w…
