The Bible – in LEGO bricks

The wise man built his house upon the plastic brick, apparently.  It claims to be the world’s largest, most comprehensive illustrated Bible.  Tons of LEGO inspired recreations of Bible stories.

Hall’s Rule of Social Order #12

If you’re lying in a relationship, you either don’t care enough about the relationship, or you’re living in fear of the other person.

A Son’s Shadow of a father

Like a son without a father

Like a father without a son

Like a tombstone without a grave

Like a grave with out a tombstone

I will march forward and be brave

I will stand alone

I will be that landscape blotter

Until the end has come



And we will continue on our lives

And we will continue on our lives

Insisting left is right and right is wrong

Insisting left is right and right is wrong

A man will die living for which he strives

A man will die living for which he strives

And he will be remembered for long

And he will be remembered for long

 

Like a father without a son

Like a son without a father

Like a grave with out a tombstone

Like a tombstone without a grave

I will stand alone

I will march forward and be brave

Until the end has come

I will be that landscape blotter

Here are some quick Christmas ornaments I made this year.  Nothing too fancy, but simple enough for anyone to make.

Hall’s Rule of Social Order #289

Offer people money when they’re paying for your enjoyment.  My favorite line that lead to this rule came from the Heinritz family:  “Boats don’t run on thanks, they run on gas.”  If they refuse, that’s up to them, but it’s up to you to initiate the gratitude.

Kallie in Cali – A lonely husband’s log – Day 6

Merry Christmas!

Still doesn’t quite feel like Christmas without cold temperatures and some snow or frost.  I think there are less public decorations than normal too.  I haven’t noticed many street lamp signs or flags or trees or lights.  Maybe I just need to get out more.

I got to sleep a bunch today.  I woke up in a good mood and ready to face the day.  Got a lot of smaller things crossed off my to-do list.

I headed down to J’aime’s for dinner with the local fam and Uncle Jay and Aunt Leslie too.  I didn’t get to see them too much because I was building a nice LEGO car with David.  He’s getting the hang of putting a set together, but he needs some help here and there.  I also watched Dan play video games for a bit, but he’s not very good and I don’t get a turn.  It’s kind of like a symbiotic relationship though, I get to watch and yell at him, and he gets to play and take the verbal abuse.  I think it works for us.

Kallie comes back late Tuesday, so hopefully I’ll be able to meet up with Uncle Jay and Aunt Leslie again when she’s back.  I’m off work Thursday and Friday, so we should have some time to spend together too.

I’m off work tomorrow, hopfully the home depot employees are not.  I’d like to get some painting done before Kallie gets here.  I hoping to get that done tomorrow, and then reserve Tuesday night after work to cleaning up this disaster area the house is right now.
