○ In your opinion, what is the difference between the soul and the spirit?
• Have you ever been interested in researching your ancestory? Why or why not?
○ Would you ever consider being a moderator on Foru.ms? If so, which board would you like to moderate?
• If someone is in a burning building and they know they will die, do you believe that God would hold them accountable if they jump out of a window instead knowing they had no chance of survival (ie, 200 stories up)? Do you think that jumping out of the window was committing suicide or simply deciding how to die?

Do you live in a rural or urban area?

Have you lived on a farm?
I grew up in a very rural area and that's where I still call home. Right now though I'm living in the big city because that's where the work is.

And yes! I have lived on a farm! My grandparents had dairy cattle while I was growing up (they live about 5 miles from us) and my family has always at least had horses and sometimes steers for beef. We still have the horses (back home in the country) and I showed dairy cows for 12 years.

I meant more convenient with digitals, I tend to think the quality is better with film.
How long have you been doing photography?
Oh, sorry! My bad on the convenience issue. I totally agree with you though about the quality. Unless you're handing me a $24k Hasselbad over my little Canon Rebel hehe.

Uhh.. I bought my Rebel G when I was 12, but I wouldn't really call that a start. I'm not sure I really, technically started until about 4 years ago. I've always done it and always exhibited at local county fairs and had a camera in my hand... but anyone can do that. I'd say when I started to really dig in and learn and take in the knowledge of it is when I started.

When not at school I live on a farm. We have pigs, beef cows, and horses.

I have never showed anything though. My youngest brother wants to get into showing animals.
You must have a lot of experience if you showed dairy cattle for 12 years!

The convenience thing was my fault, I wasn't clear on it, I used the wrong word.

Do you own your own business doing photography, do freelance, or work for/with someone else?

You pose some very tough questions in here.. wow, I like it. Lets see if I can manage to be brief hehe.

Souls and spirit.. Hmm, I've never entirely really thought too much about it being different but I suppose I would say it is. To me the soul is everything deep inside. It's the fears, the memories, the dreams, the values and philosophies, the things that keep us up at night with prayers we aren't sure how to pray about and feelings or values we aren't sure how to explain to anyone else, we just know it's there. The spirit I would have to say is an extension of the soul, sort of the "life" part. This is where people try to tell about you. Like there's a spirit of hope or spirit of wisdom within someone. A spirit of love, etc. It's sort of like the actions and emotions developed by the soul and brought to "life" in your waking days. I'm not sure if that even makes sense to anyone but me! LOL

Researching my ancestory, yeah kinda. Supposedly I have a bit of both Irish and Norweigan royalty in my blood, but I don't know anything about it. I don't think I've ever been interested enough to go searching and digging for it though. On the other hand, I don't have the greatest relationship with my fathers side of the family so I think sometimes I shy away from the history that may be tied to him..

I can't say I'd consider bieng a moderator at this time. I can't say I can commit to anything really right now, anywhere because I've been so busy. There used to be a lot of online forums and communities I was a part of that I've sort of disappeared from in the last couple months because I just haven't had time. I miss my friends there though..

Oh the jumping death question.. I suppose in my opinion I see that sort of the same as someone lieing on their death bed. They're both suffering, both know it's their time. You know when people are on the edge of death like that friends and relatives often tell you to "hang in there" or "just hold on." But when they know they're ready, they sort of let go. I think it's probably the same for the people in the building like that. I don't think God would consider that suicide. For all we know, they were gone before they ever hit the ground.

Yep! I do have a bit of experience on the dairy end anyway. I started when I was 6, didn't have a clue what I was doing. By my last few years of showing, I was taking trips to the state fair 4 years in a row, being placed in state showmanship classes (very, very hard class) and having the time of my life. I miss the work of it and the absolute difficulty of the showmanship itself. I've also shown horses and I would say the dairy showmanship is probably the hardest class to show livestock in, without question. Seriously though, if someone wants to get into showing.. I say go for it. It's the best thing I ever had growing up and if I could do it as a career, I would LOL

No problem on the wording thing ;)

Business.. I wish! I've done a couple of weddings for free (the last one just a couple months ago) but have never been paid for anything. I'm trying to figure out how to start a business of it on my own actually. I'd love to have a studio and do weddings and some portrait stuff for low budget people. I don't really like portrature in the classical sense though, more like give them a costume/outfit, some props and a good backdrop then capture them naturally. Though for experience I'm trying to find someone to second or third shoot weddings for.. no luck yet though cause I work my real job too much :p

What is your real job?

Just keep praying about it and keep looking. God answers prayer all the time. It sounds like you want to do a wonderful thing by helping out people who otherwise would not get the joy of having a photographer.

Durring the day I'm just a customer service agent for parts. It practically kills me to be stuck in an office on days like today. Mid fall, 70's outside, sun shining.. ugh!

I keep trying.. and praying.. and praying more. Just seems often like there isn't enough time for me to do what I need to. I need to work on my photography and I need to go to college in January and I need to still pay the bills.. it can all really just bring a person down rather quickly. But I'm hanging in there :)

Goodnight and have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Ok, so I'm a bit behind here.. sorry! I've been kinda busy and the rest of the week doesn't look like it's going to slow down :S

I'll answer what I can here but honestly, I have no info nor have ever really learned much about angels.. Though I think they would be fascinating to study sometime!

Free will- I would say to a point, yes. And maybe it's more that they do have total free will but they choose to follow orders?

Gender- Yeah, I think they do.

Ranks and powers- Here is where knowing anything about angels would help. I believe there are ranks and powers assigned to ranks.. but specifics I have no clue to be honest. :confused:

Personal angels- Though I have no real basis on this one either, I would like to think we all have some sort of angel watching over us, maybe some we once knew like a lost loved one or something..

Spending time with family- Yes! I love my family dearly and I couldn't have been blessed more than I am. We're not perfect and we do get into fights, but I believe I have one of the most giving, sincere families. We get together for dinner and whatnot whenever we can find an excuse.

Traditions- Hmm.. every birthday of course we have dinner and cake/presents. The holidays of course we get together. Christmas.. my parents and siblings and I spend Christmas Eve together, usually going to a midnight candlelight service at the old Log Church. Then we each open one very small present. Christmas morning we open our stockings (yes, I'm 24, my sister is 22, brother is 28 with kids.. we ALL still get stockings, including my parents) then open the rest of the gifts to and from each other. After that, we head over to my grand parents house where my aunt, her grandkids, other aunt and uncle and their kids have spent the night and we have lunch before opening all the gifts to and from each other there. Oh yeah, and Christmas Eve dinner is Taco's hehe.

Argue or get along- For the most part we get along. My sister and I fight constantly, but we really shouldn't be living together either. We are far too different and it's even more difficult when finances and a baby are involved.

Anywhere free of charge- I've always wanted to visit New Zealand! I think I would take my whole family of course!

Hostage- Wow.. what a question. I honestly don't think I could ever make that choice and honestly have to say I would have to simply leave that in Gods hands and pray that he take me and save my family instead.
