First Draft of my Magazine Cover.

This is my first draft for a fictional Magazine Cover.
What do you all think. I hated it after seeing how much work the other students put into theirs. I need to try harder. Also I need to get feed back from others that will give honest constructive critiques.



BYUI online is not easy, but worth it.

I do not know about the rest of you who have tried online colleges, but for me it has been an eye opening experience. I took online classes part of last year and part of this year and I did just fine. The way it was set due dates and it keep track of what you had done.That was using a program called iLearn 2.0. Well as usual if it is not broke they had to break it. iLearn 3.0 is  not as user friendly. Some class keep track. some are done on Facebook, and yet others are done through online books, where all the quizzes are.
Don't get me wrong if it sound like I am complaining, (I actual am.) I still want to say how great it is to be learning new things. I had six classes. I figured after 2 weeks it was way to much. So now I am down to 4 classes. 10 credits instead of 16. Well now my grant I had; they took away because I am not signed up for 12 credits.
I hope I do not have to mess with any of that and it will work out.
I had prayed and ponder for a week over dropping those 2 classes of to keep them My wife and  I both decide to drop the 2 classes and move them to next semester.
How is every one doing? The General conference for the whole Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 5 two hour sessions in all, starts tomorrow and runs into Sunday. Its on BYU TV. It is also broadcasted at the Rockford Stake Center Here in Rockford, IL and other chapels through out the world.

This is how I feel sometimes when I pray for strength!


2 Nephi 4; 20 -23 From the Book of Mormon. 

20 My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.
 21 He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh.
 22 He hath confounded mine enemies, unto the causing of them to quake before me.
 23 Behold, he hath heard my cry by day, and he hath given me knowledge by visions in the night-time.
 24 And by day have I waxed bold in mighty prayer before him; yea, my voice have I sent up on high; and angels came down and ministered unto me.

This is how I feel sometimes when I pray for strength! Praying for strength is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of Faith!

Web addrress change and the addition of some of my artwork.

FYI: I have added some other school work and a place to put some of my old artwork on display for others to view. I could of made another blog or website, but this way I can maintain this one and still post scriptures and my other thoughts on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I will no doubt eventually purchase a domain address for my artwork and as a place for my services as a Freelance Graphic Designer to be acquired.

Summer is almost over. Preparing for Fall 2016 Semester!

Hello everyone,
    I hope all had good times with family and friends these past 2 months.
    I myself had one of my best summers as an Adult.  My wife and I spent some good quality time together. We went camping again this year. We did not get out last summer. We went fish many, many times. Most of the time we had at least one of our grown children with us. Jenny loves camping and fishing too. I spent must of my time setting up and baiting the hooks and taking fishes of those hooks for my wife and Jennie. Some time we were able to go fish with our oldest son, James, on his pontoon boat. It is so peaceful where he lives near Turtle Lake, Wisconsin.
    We went to graduations, going away parties for friends who sons have joined the armed services. We got in a few ballgames and even caught a few Nephews Football games the past couple of weeks.
    Well it has been fun this last couple of months enrolling at BYUI for this fall semester , which starts September 12. Applying for grants and student loans, not so much fun. Making sure you buy the correct books and excess codes and just getting into the correct mindset to do my best .
    I will continue to post things in the coming months, so be on the look out for my postings. fell free to contact me by email if you have a subject you would like me to research the post about it.
    I am thinking of renaming my blog! I want to be able to cover other subject matter as I am taking 16 credits this Fall. Any suggestions on a new name I would like to here them. 
  Thanks again for view my blog.
Kevin
