The Biggest Sword I've Built

Yesterday we went by a hardware store in town, where I bought the supplies I needed and then went home to assemble the sword.  The overall length of the sword was 4' and 4" tall.  This sword I modeled after William Wallace's two-handed broadsword.  For those of you who would like to know,  The sword is the exact length of the claymore sword. You can check out the replica sword I modeled it after here.

Stunning sunsets and Inner thoughts

I took this beautiful picture quite recently.  What does it remind you of? 
Where I live, the sunsets are exceptionally beautiful.  Not far from my home is a lake, where in the morning I can see picture-perfect sunsets.  It is amazing that our Creator, and the creator of King Alfred, can create something as stunning as a sunset, yet also He cares for us and knows our inner thoughts.

Who is Alfred?

Alfred the Great was the founder of the British monarchy.  Instead of fighting with brute force, he won battles with strength, courage, and perseverance.  By his wisdom and knowledge he laid the cornerstone for the original British empire.

We are the order of Alfred the great. Our goal is to teach others courage, strength, and perseverance by following Alfred's example.  We are the next generation, and our goal is to pass on the traits of the Godly men who went before us.
