My Summer Update! Part 1

Hello all! I'm so excited to be back here!

So I said I was taking a 'Summer Break'. Well, I started a month late, but you know, I really don't care. I'm back now so... shush. XD

This next paragraph will either turn you off and make you leave, or interest you. Whatever happens, don't let it stop you from continuing reading!

  1. Probably the biggest thing that's happened is our conversion. Our family has decided to join the Catholic church. Quite exciting, though for a lot of you who read my blog, you may find this a bit disheartening. I sympathize for you, only because I've had this happen to me. If you wish to know more details about our conversion, why we did it, please email me at rdanhall@outlook.com and I will send you the letter we sent to everyone we could reach.
  2. As you know, I'm working on another blog, based off of legend, folklore, cryptics, and a little myth. I'm quite excited, and I have such a fun time writing it! You can watch the preview HERE, and you can visit the blog HERE. I hope you enjoy it!
  3. We've moved! We are now located in Gladewater Texas, about two hours eastward from where we were originally. I really like it here! It's a really small town too, so we can just walk up to the barber shop to get our hair cut, or if we want to eat, we can take a nice little exercise and walk over to a restaurant. We haven't made any new friends yet, but I'm sure it'll happen soon!
  4. We are not going to the Philippines. The support just didn't come the way we needed to. I believe God shut the door for a reason though, and just wanted us to take that path for a bit so we could have the experience. Besides, being Catholic now, Wycliffe wouldn't accept us!
I'll have more later, but I didn't want to make this update too long.

Until next time...
Ryan Hall ;)

Hello Again!

Hello readers! My summer break is almost over, which means I'll be returning to blogging here!

Now, even though I haven't been blogging here, that doesn't mean I stopped blogging all together. What do I mean?

Why don't you see for yourself?

Theology and Society with Ryan (Intro)

Coming up soon is a new series (don't worry, my Stop Motion Series will still continue, but I've gotten some counsel from a friend who has shown me a different approach...) called, Theology and Society with Ryan. Basically, we'll have a topic, and I'll have a guest that I'll be discussing it with.
The whole point of this series is so you know where I stand on SO many things in this fallen country. For that matter, this fallen world.

Both my guests are MKs, (Missionary Kids) who have been, or are, in the mission field where their fathers are translating the gospel, or teaching MKs, or other needed help.
My first guest is in the states at the moment on furlough. He was in West Africa, and will be going back later this year. He loves playing guitar and working on computer animation. His name is Timothy.

My second guest is in Botswana Africa right now. He just got there from a furlough they had. He loves classical music, and is a living dictionary. His name is Christopher.

Both my guests are my age: 17. Which means you get to see the really stupid stuff we say! (Hey, maybe if you read the conversation, you'll realize that we don't always talk about frivolous things!)
The whole thing will be laid out like a chat message you would have on Skype, or Facebook. I'll make sure to make look as neat as possible, and do a spell check over the whole thing. Which means you WON'T be seeing "Hey, I know u 2 have some similarities," or "ROFL!". It will ALL be spelled out, with the exception of an lol every now and then... lol. :P

But ANYWAY, I hope you enjoy the new series!

Arggg.

ARRRGGGG!
Okay, for some reason, my video stuff is not working. That's one reason I haven't posted anything in a while. As soon as I figure things out, I'll get back to blogger.
Thanks for y'all's patience!

My new project, well, relatively new...

      I am... well, SORRY that I haven't posted anything in along time, but behold, I come bring tidings of comfort and joy!
     Lately, I have been working on a project that may interest those who LOVE fiction. That's right, a book. The book is titled SPIES. SPIES is a secret organization whose goal is to keep the peace in the world, all for the glory of GOD.
     Included in this post, is the Epilogue, and an excerpt from chapter 2. You'll get the gist of what it's about while you read. Please comment and tell me what you think! I hope you enjoy it!
(Please note that this is all UN EDITED. So if you see some grammar mistakes, don't be worried!)
P.S. Also, don't feel like you have to read it in one sitting! :)



Epilogue
            In the year 3226 A.D., the government decided to stop lying about things like “Global Warming,” and start enslaving people. The American people were forced to have two or less children, they raised the prices on fuel, and put tax on food, not to mention many other countless things. Sixty percent of the people were out of jobs. Forty percent of that were thrown in prison. Then, from out of the blue, a man came along. No one knew where he came from. He secretly started going door to door in Texas telling the citizens that it was time to take action. On top of this, he gave them weapons a plenty for the people of Texas, so to be ready for the war. Soon afterwards, a bomber named Freedom, attacked the Capital Building, thus starting the American Civil War II in 4006 A.D.
            It was a bloody and gruesome war, that lasted until 4008 A.D. Thousands had died because there were also those who agreed with the government. In the end, the Texans won the battle. For half a month, they celebrated their victory. The victory everyone would remember for the rest of their lives.
The people of the new country decided to rename their country to: The New United States of America. A country that would follow the laws of the Constitution, and the Bible. Shortly afterwards, they elected a good, Christian man to be in charge of the House of Representatives and the government. The House of Representatives elected a new President named Charles L. Obama, the great, great, great, (ect. ect.) Grandson of Barach Obama. The new President also walked in the ways of God.
            After this amazing turn of events, Jack Dixon, a man who had fought against the government, had a strange experience. In 4009 A.D. a mini rocket-ship crashed in his backyard. When he went to go check it out, he saw something he thought he would never believe. It was a baby boy. Next to the baby was a name plate that read”
PLUTO:
FIREBALL
Jack decided that he and his wife, Olivia, would adopt him. They couldn’t have kids themselves and, after all, it did seem like God sent this little baby to them. They named him, Rex. After fourteen years of raising him, Olivia died.
As you read this book, the year will be 4023 A.D., and will progress from there. Enjoy.


 Okay, now here is the excerpt  from Chapter 2...

Rex awoke to the smell of pancakes. Thank god for Saturdays. He got out of bed, threw his clothes on, put on his IPod and headed towards the dining room. “Morning Dad,” Rex mumbled sleepily. “You makin’ pancakes?”
“Yup!” his Dad replied, “blueberry, or strawberry?”
“Both.”
“Wise chose, I’m having both too.”
After pancakes were finished being eaten, Jack decided to make his move. “Rex,” he said, “I want to talk to you about something.”
“Yah?” he answered walking over.
“I want to know what’s going on with you and your behavior. It’s gotten really bad lately.”
“Uuuhhhh…”
At that moment, the door bell rang. Jack looked very annoyed. He walked to the door.
Saved by the bell… thought Rex.
“Hey, what can I…?” Jack said, stopping in mid sentence. Rex watched him slam the door and run to the closet. “Rex! Get behind something thick!”
“Why? What’s wrong?” he asked puzzled.
BLAM! It was a gunshot. Oh. He quickly ran behind the couch, All the while yelling and holding his head with both hands. He heard the door burst open and bullets flying overhead. That was when he heard someone yell in pain. “Dad?”
“I’m okay son, you?”
“Uh-huh,”
“You can get up now, it’s all over.”
Rex slowly stood up, “What just happened?”
His Dad got very serious,” On your Mom and I’s sixth honeymoon, we went to Russia. While we were there, I witnessed a government agent trying to kill someone. Well, you know me, I couldn’t just stand there and watch this. I walked over and asked what was going on, in Russian of course. The guy trying to kill the civilian told me that the government there was trying to decrease the population, and to stay out of it. That’s when the agent was about to kill him. I don’t know what came over me, but I punched him in the face, knocking him out cold. The other guy ran, yelling his gratitude towards me. I checked the Agent’s pulse to make sure he wasn’t dead, and then ran off.
“We left Russia the next day thinking that life would go on as usual. Though Olivia said it would come back to bite us in the butt one day. I thought I had saved the day, like Batman would have. Secretly. But I suppose the agent made up a story or something and finally tracked us here.” He looked over towards the body. “And if I’m not mistaken, that’s him.”
Rex stared at the body. He had never seen a corpse this close, aside from his Mother’s. Then another thought came to him. “What did you use to kill him? I didn’t hear any gunshot right before he died.”
Jack smiled, “I used this,” he said, picking up a sword. The blade was a shiny silver, and the handle was a glowing gold, with grooves engraved into it. He pushed a small button on the handle and a lazer went all around the magnificent weapon.  Intrestingly, there was not a hint of blood on the sword. “Its nick name is, The Sword of the Spirit. But in more technical terms, it’s a lazer sword.”
Rex was amazed. “Whoa. When and where did you get that thing?!”
“Towards the end of Civil War II, a friend of mine made it. He was a scientist named Dr. John Davis PhD. He thought it would help with the war, but, we never got to test it. I guess it works. Course, I never figured out how he made it stay on without charging or batteries, or how it self cleans. It’s a wonder to me.”
“Where’s John Davis now?”
“I don’t know. He disappeared after the war ended. Never heard from him again.”
Rex stood for a minute. “Well…now what?”
“I think we should finish the conversation, don’t you?” his Father replied, with an eyebrow raised and half a smile. Rex stared at the floor. He didn’t want to talk, but he had to get this feeling out.
“Is there a God that really loves us?”
Finally! Jack thought, I know why his attitude’s been rotten! Thank you LORD! “This is about Mom’s death, isn’t it?”
“Well…I guess so.”
“Then spit it out. What’s on your mind?” Jack asked, finally relieved to have figured this out.
“Why would God, if He loves us, let Mom die? And when I was so young.”
Mr. Dixon smiled, “Rex, I don’t know.”
Now Rex was really confused. “What?”
“Nobody knows why people die at certain times. Only GOD knows. See, he’s got this plan he made since the very beginning of time. GOD just decided that it was time for your mother to be with him. A lot of times we don’t understand His motives, but whatever He does He does it in the best interest.”
“So, He loves us, cares for us, yet takes people away for the best interest. What’s best for me.”
“Right.”
Rex now understood. Besides, since his Mom was a believer, she’d be in heaven. Why then did he not want to understand? It made sense, but something inside pushed him away from that fact. Then something else caught his attention. It was a shadow outside the window.
“Dad! Someone’s outside!” Everything went in slow motion from that point. His father turned around to grab the sword, but as his hand touched the handle, the gunshot went off. His father fell to the floor. “Uuhhnn…Rex…gun…shoot…”
  Rex immediately ran to his father’s room and grabbed the gun out of the shirt drawer, just in time to hear someone rush inside. He ran into the living room and shot the gun towards the man.

"...Totally Destroying [the] Backyard."

Alright, check this out...










The hole you just saw in the pictures is our sleeping hole. It's not finished yet, but it shall be! A quote from my Mom to those reading, "The hole you're about to see is my son totally destroying my backyard." To which I would say something that didn't make sense, like, It's not destroying, I'm helping humanity and all of man-kind." I could imagine Mom answering, "Yeah, I don't think so."

Eventually, it will be deep enough to sleep under the roots. All we do is lay down two to three sleeping bags, and sleep under three or four other sleeping bags. Only, we don't have our sleeping bags at the moment. I'll explain that next week.

The hole is about four and a half feet wide, and eight feet long. When it's done, I'll blog some more about it.

P.S. The pictures you saw are about a weeks worth of work. It was mostly done by me.
