The World of Silverstone

Posted earlier at iamchief.

Who knows how many great novels are lying unfinished in the drawers of wanna-be writers all across the land. I hope that won't be true with my son. But just in case... I've posted the first chapter of his latest novel: The World of Silverstone. If he doesn't finish, at least you'll have the first few pages.

Below you'll find the table of contents, promising 15 chapters - and a map, as well as character sketches (both illustrative on the cover & biographical after the contents). Enjoy!

Memorial Day

To those we know and to those we don't.

Thank you.

Chin First

I was bad hurt when I fell off my bike. I fell chin first. I was doing a stunt. I was standing on the pedals with one hand off. I swerved and flew off my bike. I busted my chin and blood was splatered on my chin. I cried and cried and cried. My dad came and so did a neighbor. I needed two band aids. I felt bad because I was good at riding my bike.

In the Army Now

Perhaps the same inspiration led to this recent invasion.

GOD was with us

Hebrews 13:5b

For he himself has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."

The tornado struck*

We went downstairs and
slept in the bathroom.
GOD was with us.

*This is a bit of an embellishment on Aaron Job's part. However, we did take cover in the bathroom because the tornado sirens were going off. BTW, those are blankets flapping in the wind as the two children descend the stairs heading for cover. This is the tornado that missed us by only a few miles.

Servants and Singers T-Shirt Design

Servants and Singers is the 3rd - 6th grade children's choir at our church. They're having a contest to come up with a t-shirt design. This is Aaron Job's design concept. He found the Bible verse all by himself, after I showed him how to use a concordance.

Servants and Singers

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving, make melody to our God in the lyre. Psalm 147:7

Aaron Job Shoots

I know this blog is for Aaron Job's drawings, but I thought I'd break protocol & post some of his photographs. The great thing about digital cameras is that you can let your 7 year old son go crazy & you haven't lost any money on wasted film! These pics were taken over the last 12 to 18 months. All of these were taken by Aaron Job w/ no help from any adults.

Now, granted, for every one in-focus shot, there were about a dozen that weren't.

National Geographic runner-up?

Where is that child's mother!?

I'm still trying to figure out how to take decent close up shots with that camera...

Now, Anita might have taken this one - but hey - kudos for training the lizard to pose!

Stick around, maybe I'll post some of his videos.

Moving

I apologize for the infrequent posts here. To make things worse for Aaron Job's die hard fans, we will in fact cease postings for a short period of time. Lord willing, we'll be moving in less than 2 weeks, so we are frantically packing.

Aaron Job Draws will return later this summer.

Thanks!

Gone Fishin'

Don't know if these two were drawn at the same time, but they both involve fishing...

ROBOBOT

Here's a cute - um, I mean, cool picture Aaron Job recently drew.

Usually I adjust the image to erase the bleed through from the other side of the paper, but this made me chuckle, 'cause we all know he probably drew this while he should've been doing his math homework!

How To Get Rid Of Mud

I'm usually aware of most of Aaron Job's drawings - either as he's drawing a picture or soon after it's complete. However, some time ago I ran across a stash of drawings that I'd never seen before. Included in this stash (all of which will eventually make their way to the blog), were a few for which I have no explanation. This is one of them.

*Pay attention to the face(s) of the sun - especially on the last page.

How to Get Rid of Mud

by Aaron Job

If your covered with mud run around

but don't crash

If runing dosint help, then try jumping.
Swing if jumping dosint work.

If swinging is not going to help,

then take a bath.

Space

Aaron Job has enjoyed sites likes this and this, which have apparently inspired him with these drawings.

The Sun.

The Earth.
