The Beatitudes

I'd like to do this 24/7, but I have a life too.  I am a single dad with responsibilities, and the bills aren't yet paying themselves so, I do what I can. I posted the Beatitudes to TikTok a couple days ago.  I am planning to be working on another video this afternoon.  That, of course depends on how the day turns out.   @divinebytes The Beatitudes #Jesus #christianity #wordofgod #JesusChrist ♬ original sound - The Good News  

The Temptation of Jesus

The video I made yesterday was The Temptation of Jesus from Matthew Chapter 4 v 1-11. Jesus was led into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  @divinebytes The Temptation of Jesus #Jesus #christianity #wordofgod #40DaysAndNights #bible #christian #JesusChrist ♬ original sound - The Good News That story involves three characters. Jesus, the Devil and a Narrator. There are two angels at the end as well.  I have to do it that way as I am going word for word from the Bible. I'm not changing anything, so the Narrator will be just as much a part of the video as anything else. I am learning as I go.   Yesterday, I learned that there is a benefit to an order of operations. Especially when making more complex videos with more characters and scenes. I still have to work out the kinks, but the one thing at a time approach was much more, how do you say, smooth and efficient.  I figured that out about halfway through. I was making one clip at a time. I would get...

New Video: The Lords Prayer

My second video, The Lord's Prayer from Matthew Chapter 6 Vs. 9-15 was uploaded to TikTok last night.   @divinebytes The Lords Prayer #wordofgod #Jesus #bible #prayer #faith #christianity ♬ original sound - The Good News I am happy to say that it has actually gotten some views. As of the time of this writing, it's at 368, with 4 new followers and 60 likes. That's a pretty good start IMHO, but the number of views and likes isn't what's important.   What is important? It's time I get to spend with the Lord. It's the time I get to spend with the Word of God. It's, hopefully, fulfilling my duty to evangelize, by bringing the word to life and sharing it with others.  There is simply so much filth and perversion in the digital world, not just on TikTok, but on the internet in general. Just scroll for an hour and you'll see all kinds of crap. Trust me, I know.  It's a guilty pleasure.  So, I just want to add a little bit of goodness.  Just a li...

Hello World

Hello World My name is Patrick, and I am a digital creator who has decided to go on a new journey.   I have had this idea for a while, about starting a TikTok of short animations taken word for word from the Bible. I figure it would be good to add something positive and hopeful to the mix.   The thought is to share the word of God in a new and fun way. I'll do it in little byte size pieces, sometimes just a verse, other times a short story from the Gospels. We'll see what comes.  There are a lot of ideas swirling around in my head. We'll see what the Holy Spirit inspires me to do. To be honest, modern technology gives me the ability to make these videos fairly quickly. The one above took me about an hour, including creating the character and the background / foreground images, adding it to the animation software.   I am currently creating the voices in Text to Speech software called Speechelo .  I bought the full version of that.  I can't aff...
