The folks over at A Boomer in the Pew are giving away a free Calfskin-bound ESV Study Bible. This thing is awesome. I’ve had experience with the ESV Study Bible, and let me tell you, its quite comprehensive! I’ve also seen Crossway’s calfskin bibles, and they’re quite nice to the touch, though I have not seen the combination of the two (yet)!
There’s a technique I’ve been meaning to try for some time.
Its a technique called transparent screens. There are a couple methods to make them, but my favorite requires a few steps.
First, you need to take a photo of the scene without the screen up.
Second, you need to put the screen up to figure out the region blocked.
Third, you need to create a desktop wallpaper that plays as your “window”
Once that’s set, just put the finishing touches on your scene, and snap your final. It helps to use a tripod in all this, and keep the settings and lighting constant.
These photos were made for the Logos Photo Contest hosted by Logos Bible Software. They’re also doing giveaways with their Bible Study Magazine, so you can check them out there too.

UPDATE: I’ve finished transcribing the song, and someday I’ll record myself playing it. For now, here’s the sheet music I made for those wishing to learn it.

Today is the day we honor all our Veterans. To all those who have fought in our wars, we salute you!
