Where I was staying before buying the house:

The bedroom of one room
effiiciency I was staying in @ Ken Castle's before I bought the house.
 
The Front Door, kitchen in background, it was a door, but it wasn't 'mine'
 
The Living Room, but it still wasn't 'mine'
 
The Bathroom, but it still wasn't 'mine'
 
The Bathroom / 'coat closet'
 
Entire room, with thumb, but still not mine


The house I bought:
 
Front of MY House
 
Back of MY House
 
From the SW corner of Breakfast nook, looking toward kitchen
 
Backyard from West side of house
 
SE corner of living room, trophies and plaques currently reside in the boxes,
until I can find some decent bookcases or get them hung on the wall.
 
Backyard flower thingy, oh, yeah, garden, in foreground
 
Bedroom #3 AKA 'storage'
 
Bathroom#1 AKA "Main or 'guest' Bath"

Bath #2 AKA "Master Bath"
 
outside this winder lies the huge 20X20 'family room'
 
MY Hallway
 
MY Front Porch

The room really isn't as messy as it looks, just narrow and longish.

This photo is a page from a Bible that survived a fire, the entire Garage was a total loss,
but if you look at the page (top of photo, the circle at the center of the burned area) it is virtually untouched. The story can be found in the book 'Sirens for the Cross' written by LT Tommy Neiman from the SLCFD.
The ONLY thing to survive the fire was the Bible. The LT spoke at the Elks Lodge one afternoon, as an officer,
I was obligated to meet him, I am glad I did, I now have a copy of the book. I am just sorry I didn't get a better picture of it. The hand in the top photo is pointing to the original bible it came from, notice the condition of it.

Can you see Him in the doorway amidst the flames? This spiritual, goose-bump inspiring scene is an actual unretouched photo of a burning dwelling used for a training fire. Many have asked if there was a death or special occurrence in the history of this structure. The answer is "No!" This brings us to the conclusion that even in the most ordinary fires -- represented by daily trials and struggles -- Jesus is right there with us!
