A Book Report.

Hi guys,
  Mom told me that I had to write a book report on the book that I just finished, so here goes. :S  The book is called "The War for Mansoul", and it is basically the story of man's soul on earth, and how we get tempted to sin. :(  The book is set in the time of castles and sword fights!

  It starts out with the devil, aka. Diabolus plotting in hell to take away God's greatest possession, the fictional town of Mansoul.  In the town of Mansoul live many fictitious people like Lord Mayor Understanding and Mr. Conscience.

  To make a long story short, Daibolus appears to the Mansoulians as a dragon, and after some fancy persuading gets let in and takes over the town's castle.  After a while, Emanuel, (son of king Shadi who had possession of the town before) comes and reclaims the town as his own...

  After reclaiming the town, Emanuel exposes Daibolus to the townspeople, and then sends him on his way back to hell.  The people are all very happy now, but there are still a bunch of Daibolonains hiding in the walls of Mansoul.

  These Daibolonains eventually send a messenger back to Daibolus, telling him that they have weakened the Mansoulians's spiritual strength, and that he should try to take the town again.  He does return and breaks into the city, but never gets into the castle.

  After some time of fighting, getting nowhere, they leave, thinking that the Mansoulians will let down their guard, but they actually go out after them, and with the help of Emanuel, kill all of the Daibolonains outside of the town, except for Daibolus and his executive demons, who escape back to hell.

  After that there is a speech by Emanuel, telling his love for them, and that is pretty much the end of the book.  On the whole, it is a pretty good read. I would give it a 9.5/10, just because some of the chapters were seemed like endless rants. :(

  Well, I'm singing out again, Jacob B.

Long Time no Write. :P

Hi guys,
  It's been a long time since I've written anything, but I have been very busy working on the shop project and a whole lot of other stuff.  We actually have the shop finished, except for finding a place for everything again, so that is very nice to have done!

  I think it was the Wednesday two weeks ago that Dad; Andrew; and I went up to Bismarck to pick up a few supplies, and....... a giveaway POOL TABLE!!!  That's right, a pool table!  We had to take it all apart to get it out of the guy's basement, but now we have a 8' pool table in our heated shop!

  Last Saturday, everybody that was home, (Mom was at another body talk class in Calgary, Canada.) went up and played some ice hockey on a frozen lake up in our pasture!  We had a lot of fun until it started getting dark, so we came home and played some pool. :D

  Two days ago, I pulled my dirt bike into the shop, and pulled the engine out of it.  I am going to put a new "top end" in it, which means getting the block bored out a little bit so that it is all smooth again, and then putting a new oversize piston and rings in...  Well, time for me to go again, so I will see you later.

  Jacob B.
