Easy to Build CNC Mill Stepper Motor and Driver Circuits
Introduction: Easy to Build CNC Mill Stepper Motor and Driver Circuits
This is a follow up to the Easy to Build Desk Top 3 Axis CNC Milling Machine Once you get the machine all put together its time to make it go.
So it's time to drive the motors. And here I've put together a circuit that I think is the absolute cheapest and easiest way to control stepper motors with step and direction signals. It works with many of the free or low cost softwares that produce step and direction signals through the parallel printer port. I'll explain how it works but for those of you who just want to get on with it... The_Next_Step
But I would suggest for those of you who are unfamiliar with circuits to do it on a bread board (see pictures). This way you can easly correct any mistakes and try different things.
This schematic is just to control one motor so for the milling machine you need 3 of these circuits and 3 motors.
From Left to right and top to bottom. I try to draw schematics so that positive voltages are toward the top and ground or negative volge is toward the bottom. Inputs are to the left and outputs to the right. Fist off the voltage that you are going to use to run the motor needs to be stepped down and regulated for the logic chips. I used a 6.2 volt Zener to do this because it's low enought for the logic chips to receive the signals from your printer port and high enough for the outputs to drive many of the standard power FETs, so you may not have to use logic FETs like the schematic shows. So the resistor R1 drops the voltage, the Zener diode regulates it to 6.2 volts and the capacitor C1 filters out any noise from the motor, and this voltage powers the two IC's.
The first IC (CD4516) is called an up/down counter. One signal from the printer port will tell the counter if it will count up or down and the other signal, called step, will increment or decrement the counter by one count. Now were only going to use two outputs from the counter Q1 and Q2. With this binary counting method there are only 4 combinations of output from the counter: 00, 01, 10, and 11. These lines are fed to the A and B inputs of the other IC (CD4028) which decodes these combinations to 4 seprate outputs.
I did a trick here using the C input to work as an Enable input. If the Enable(optional) is connected to the parallel port and the computor tells it to shut off all of the outputs to the FETs will go low(Off). So the four outputs of the decoder drive the FET transistors and the FETs drive the four poles of the motor.
Now everybody wants to know what the light bulb is for. Its not so much whether you use a bulb or a resistor, its that a bulb comes with a socket. You can get these wedge base light bulbs from 1 watt to 20 watts. Start with may be a 4 watt bulb and if you find you need a little more beef you just pull it out and put in a 10 watt bulb. It's really handy. And I found it's good to have some voltage drop there as kind of a ballast for the motor windings. The diodes catch some of the current that comes out of the motor each time the FET transistors turn off. The diode feeds this current back to the supply.
When you get the circuit up and running find a power supply that puts out more voltage than you really need and then change out light bulbs till you get it running smoothly. Some of my stepper motors are 5 or 6 volt and some are 12 volt but it all works out.
Step 1: The Circuit Board of Appeals
OK here's what your all looking for. I made a simple PC board layout that includes 3 motor driver circuits connected to a 25 pin D sub Parallel printer port connector. Here's a picture of the layout. At the top of the picture you see a place for a voltage regulator. You can use that or you can put a resistor and Zener Diode in its place(like the schematic shows). On the right edge is a place for the 25 pin D-sub connector that connects to the parallel printer port. You just jam the PC board between the two rows of pins and solder it.
On the left side are places for the lamp sockets. You need to look over the schematic to see where some of the parts go but it's all there.
Step 2: Circuit Cloning
If you have a time machine you can go to the future and ask yourself to make the circuit board with the finished machine and then bring it back and finish building the machine. After a couple of tries I got the board to come out pretty good. The machine routes what are called isolation paths which means it seperates the copper that is associated with a conductive path from all the other copper around it. This leaves some areas of the board that are not associated with a path still covered with copper. You could leave this extra copper on there but when your soldering it is easy to get solder bridges across the isolation paths and short circuit something. So I take the soldering iron and touch it on the excess copper and peal it up off the board. It makes the board more like what you would get if you chemical etched it or bought it from a board house(see below).
Any way look over the schematic and place the parts accordingly. I added a few capacitors along the power lines just for general principals. There were so few traces on the top side of the board I didn't bother milling it. I just used jumper wires. See the pictures below of the populated board. All the little FETs ligned up like marching soldiers.
Step 3: Photo Etching a Driver Board
OK, For all you chemistry majors who want to do something a little more professional here are some .pdf files you can print out and iron on or what ever you do to make an etched PC board. There's a Top Silk (just for reference), Top Copper, and Bottom Copper.
If you want to go easy Just do the Bottom Copper. There's not that much on the top and you can just solder jumpers where you need to.
Step 4: TESTING..1..2..3
Don't be nervus. It's just a little electricity. First off it would be good to load up the KCAM (or what ever you plan on using) in your computor. Then when you feel comfortable that all the parts are in the right place plug the parallel port connector into the driver board(as shown below) and put a low wattage build in the socket for the motor. In this case I'm using middle, the Y axis driver.
For power I like to use one if these universal power adapters with selectable voltage output. They're cheap and they don't put out a lot of current so if something goes wrong it's less likely to damage your circuit. Set the voltage low and see if you have some vlotage on the power pins(16) of the CD4516 and the CD4028. If you don't have a volt meter just take an LED and tie a 10K(BRN,BLK,ORN) resistor to the positive(the long leg) and wire to ground tied to the negative(the short leg). Now you can use this as a probe to see where you have voltage. It will be very dim but we don't want to draw too much current away from the circuit.
Now go into the computer program and find the Setup Table. Set the steps per inch to 1000. Then open the CNC control and set the single step for .001 inch and activate the single step mode. Now each time you click the yellow arrows (up and down for the Y axis) the computor will output one pulse to the stepper motor driver circuit.
Put your LED probe on pin 10 of the CD4516. This is the up down input. When you click the up arrow the input will be low(LED off) and when you click the down arrow the input will be high(LED on). Pin 15 is the step input you will see a very short blink each time you click a n up or down arrow on this pin. Pin 6 is the Q1 output. It will change state(high/low) each time you click an arrow. And Pin 11 is the Q2 output. It will change state every other time you click an arrow.
On the output side of things we should see some activity on the CD4028 chip. Putting your probe on any of the output pins 1,4,6,or 7. These outputs drive the FETs. You should see the output go high every 4th time you click the up or down arrow.
If this all makes sense so far it's time to get the motor running. The common wire or wires of the motor which are the center tap of the windings should be connected to the light bulb. The other four wires should go to the four FETs on the circuit. If you are really lucky you will get the combination just right in the first couple of trys. Other wise just keep switching the wires arround until the motor steps in the same direction each time you click the arrows.
Watch the video in the next step. It may give you a better idea what to do.

Step 6: Linux Users
I'm not a Linux user yet but I have played with it enough to be dangerous. But for you Linux users Chaddcurtis has contributed some setup files and information to help you use Linux CNC with the parallel port and this circuit board layout. Thanks a lot Chad and more power to you.
please help to solve our problem, this PCB is not workig 4028 output not give as testing vedio, 4516 input is ok out puts is ok (clock signal come to pin 15)
hi,we made your PCB as you did, but unfortunately driver motors not working properly, 4028 IC out puts are not came like your testing vedio , Pin 1 output showed, one click (IN A KCAM ) LED light blink twoie, why was the problem ?
I have been theorising on building a numerical position display on my CNC machine using an up/down counter. Could you enlighten me as to whether the DIR+ and DIR- signals to the stepper drivers are at the same potential or is one signal the absence of a 'high' level?
please teach to me how i can connect sensor wire limit axis circuit above i don't know connect to where?
I built using PDF files from your instructable. it looks like +ve & -ve terminals have been connected using 1K resister, where are circuit says +ve & +ve terminals are connected with Zener & capacitor in parallel with 1K series resister. do i looking at the right bottom.pdf. i'm a mechanical engineer & limited knowledge of electronics, your help will be highly appreciated.
Attached a sketch with markups.
Thanks in advance.
i can't find any bc4516 ic in my county.. is there any other ic i can use as a replace of it?
it's CD4516 not bc4516 may be this the problem why you can't find them as it's a very popular IC
hi everyone . sorry for my bad english . i want to build driver using l297 and uln2003 chips so can somebody to give me full circuit schematic for 4 axis cnc machine ? i am using mach 3 and 5 volt unipolar stepper motors
Hi, please advise... is your cnc mill stepper motor of any equivalent to this one http://blog.poscope.com/stepper-motor-driver/
I made one axis driver and one stepper motor and test it on a test board ... and it worked like charm. " i didn't use the light bulbs"
I will build the 3-axis board with three stepper motors soon and i will post images after testing it. " i will build a new layout"
Thanks Tom for sharing this experience.
Note: 1. make the Enable pin in port setup in KCAM to True inverted
2. pins numbers in the schematic is not like the connection to the D-sub 25 Connector, Beware....
I've cheated a bit in making my CNC Engraver. I used the Arduino UNO with a CNC Shield and run everything with a free program called EFL CNC. That part of the work was super easy to complete. The machine on the other hand, built slightly different from yours, has been a 5 month project getting everything to work perfect. Mainly, it had to be pretty :) The design difference is due to the use difference. This will be engraving glass inside a water bath tank., which can't be allowed to slosh back and forth with the movements.
Hi, I'm using L298n instead of MOSFETS. The stepper seems to react but doesn't move, it's just growling. Is it because of L298n?
I've got something I'm working on and need 10 or more accessible drives.
Can this be paralleled to incorporate more axis?
Also if it is possible ... am I going to need a special program for an application like that?
Thank you
Is this motor compatible with this driver???
I am almost done with this project, a few things on the way from farnell/element14, looking good so far, and with a little hard work and care I have added a few professional touches, such as solder mask, though I handled it a bit too much after it cured (Used a spray paint version). Some components aren't soldered in as I am not sure about their values, the resistors for example. Can anyone provide a complete list of the parts? as the list Tom has provided doesn't seem to match, is a few parts short and it seems he is rather busy. I did look at the schematic ofcourse, however seems like a different revision. Thanks Tom for this valuable instructable, when it's made I'll test it and mark this as "I made it!".
If you are trying to use a simple parallel port to USB adapter it will not work. Parallel ports were not designed to provide power while USBs do. This means that the stepper motor will always receive a signal even when it shouldn't be. If your pins recieve power ONLY when connected to the computer, this is the problem.
i made it and not workiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
Hi! I'm making this driver for my CNC, but when i step in KCAM the motor vibrates back and forth and then stops, any idea what the problem is?
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have the same question. did you manage to get and answer?
if i was to make changes to the design where it connects to the stepper can i make this circuit able to drive a 4 wire bipolar stepper motor
if i was to make changes to the design where it connects to the stepper can i make this circuit able to drive a 4 wire bipolar stepper motor
Hi , I just finished building a single motor drive but I have a problem, when I plug in the 12V the motor start moving erratically back and forward, vibrate a lot and that disappear when I disconnect the enable pin of the CD 4028, control via parallel port isn't working fine either.I build it using a perforated board,I check all the connections and are as per the diagram.Any suggestions???Thanks
So I am having a hard time. My motor will hardly step once, and back once. The motor heats up pretty hot. I have the pm55l-048 motor to test with. runnning 16v. any suggestions?
Yes, Motor gets too hot. I've the same motor pm55l-048 and running on 12 V with driver IC UCN5804B, tested on Kcam.
I think it might be be too small for load (800ma). Have you solved your problem ? I'm planning for bigger motors.
Hi, After making the circuit (I'll be breadboarding it ) can I expect it to run with Arduino.Rather how I can make it run for an uno. I'm trying to do this for a 3d printer ?
Is it for unipolar (AS IT SEEMS TO BE CENTRE-TAPPED )? How can i make it run for a bipolar stepper ?
Hi, I'm not a motorspecialist so I cannot give you an answer on that. Perhaps other users ?
With Arduino UNO you could better use Polulu-drivers.
Thanks dirver for replying :)
Can you just let me know some details that how it is programmed , do you use a micro controller to run the three steppers or do you program it with some software.?
I'm just curious how I will program it for the 3d printer.Thanks : and sorry for trouble
hi jatin
I have tried to drive this controller through arduino uno and it works !
you should use something called grbl you will upload a sketch to your arduino and connect your wires (step and direction) for each motor and run it with a software compatible with grbl I used grbl controller .
and when I used the enable pin It didn't work
so good luck and let me know what you achieve :)
use the following link to download the library and put it in it's directory the open examples in arduino software >GRBL>GRBLtoArduino then upload it
some guides :
Hi Jatinbatra,
For my cnc-router I use Mach 3, but I'm designing a 3D printer and then I use this Arduino-unit (including temperature controller, stepperdrivers, ....).
If you make a 3D printer with the driver here described, you will still need 2x temperature controller and the 4th stepperdriver.
I first wanted to change my router for also 3D-printing but the 3th axis would not go high enough so I decited to make a 3D printer from scratch.
Actually I'm only a novice and I don't know how to layout PCB, so it is pretty much cumbersome work to connect a sub25 connector .
What i'M doing is that I'm making everything on a generic (protoboard or breadboard ) kinda thing , so I wanted to know can you help me figuring out what should I do ?
Hi Jatinbatra,
Depends on what you mean with "figuring out".
Do you want to make Tom's pcb or are you making a new design ?
i just simply want to make the driver to run the steppers with computer control i.e the torque, speed (micro-steping) and direction via a pc for 3 motors.It doesn't matter to me whether it be CNC or 3D printer, All I want to do is run the motors .
I'm bit unaware about programming part ,.
The programming can be done with Mach3.
Look at the picture of Tom for this.
Have you already bought the components ?
No , I haven't bought the components but i have stepper motors which are all 4 wired , can't I use this circuit with four wires ?
No, I don't think this pcb will work with less than 5-wires.
I only use this pcb with 5-wire-motors.
For 4-wire-motors I use the china-driver-boards (3x motor for my router).
Regards and Merry Christmas,
Ho,ho,ho , Happy Holidays Dirk.You are really a very helpful person :)
I have four wire steppers and Tom has a six wire motor , of which two wires are connected to the bulb (which is actually for testing the circuit the circuit ) so I think if I skip these two wires , then I think I can do that right.Please fell free to correct me.
I'd like to know how to choose resistors or light bulbs? I have built this circuit and tried different bulbs/resistors, but could not understand how to make my motors run at full power

Niobium-based Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) cavity performance is sensitive to localized defects that give rise to quenches at high accelerating gradients. In order to identify these material defects on bulk Nb surfaces at their operating frequency and temperature, it is important to develop a new kind of wide bandwidth microwave microscopy with localized and strong RF magnetic fields. By taking advantage of write head technology widely used in the magnetic recording industry, one can obtain ̃200 mT RF magnetic fields, which is on the order of the thermodynamic critical field of Nb, on sub-micron length scales on the surface of the superconductor. We have successfully induced the nonlinear Meissner effect via this magnetic write head probe on a variety of superconductors. This design should have a high spatial resolution and is a promising candidate to find localized defects on bulk Nb surfaces and thin film coatings of interest for accelerator applications. © 2010 IEEE.

A core-shell type exchange-coupled composite (ECC) structure is developed with an L10 phase FePt core and an Fe shell. Coercivity decreases from 30.6 kOe for the FePt granular film with a very thin thickness of 3.2 nm, to 7.85 kOe for the FePt/Fe core-shell type granular film with a 3-nm-thick Fe. The energy barriers of the FePt/Fe films are measured by using Sharrock equation. A modified formula of gain factor considering the effect of films' thickness is proposed. Core-shell type FePt/Fe ECC granular film has a large advantage over a conventional granular film for media application. © 2006 IEEE.

Structural and magnetic properties of core-shell type L10 FePt/Fe exchange coupled nanocomposites are studied systematically. Core-shell nanocomposites with FePt core and Fe shell are obtained by depositing Fe cap layers on granular L10 FePt films. Epitaxial growth is disclosed by x-ray diffraction. Coercivity decreases drastically for FePt/Fe with the thickness increase of Fe cap layers. The coercivity reduction is due to the much increased domain wall area pinned and compressed at the soft-hard interface, and the tilted effective easy axis because of the presence of demagnetized energy. L10 FePt/Fe with a 3 nm Fe layer has high thermal stability and gain factor for media applications. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.

In order to demonstrate the strong and proper exchange coupling between bottom magnetic layer and capping magnetic layer in FePt-based exchange-coupled composite (ECC) perpendicular recording media, we have investigated the thermal stability, writability, degree of exchange coupling, and ECC gain factor of FePt-based ECC media as a function of the thickness of the capping FePt layer. With increasing the thickness of capping FePt layer, both thermal stability and media writability increase simultaneously as a result of the change from strong exchange coupling to proper exchange coupling. The proper exchange-coupled FePt ECC is a promising candidate for future high-density perpendicular recording. © 2006 IEEE.

Recording experiments were performed on FePt media with varying thermal layers thickness values. As the heat sink increases we observe that jitter decreases, due to improved thermal gradient. At the same time the laser power required to write on media increases. A semianalytical integrated optical and thermal model sheds light onto these experimental findings. © 1965-2012 IEEE.

L1 0 FePt film exhibits a very large magnetocrystalline anisotropy (7 × 10 7 ergs/cc). It therefore becomes a promising material candidate for ultrahigh areal density heat assisted magnetic recording media. This paper discusses the effect of pressure on the microstructure and magnetic properties of L1 0 FePt:X thin films. It has been found that Ar pressure plays an important role in controlling the properties of the composite polycrystalline thin films. As the pressure increases, FePt:X films show much better segregation in the microstructure of the amorphous materials within the grain boundary, and the FePt grain size decreases accordingly. It was also found that media coercivity increases as the film microstructure changes from a maze type to a granular type, along with the pressure increase. This is likely due to the enhanced exchange decoupling of the FePt grains in the magnetic layer. The microstructure's evolution with pressure is in agreement with a structural zone model of the composite polycrystalline thin films. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.

Just one hot lap with Chris Berube, the lead development engineer of the CTS-V, and I was seeing Cadillac's completely redesigned sport sedan in a new light. After taking a few laps of the road course at the brand-spanking new Monticello Motor Club, in Monticello, N.Y., and feeling like I'd started to become familiar with the relatively high-speed loop, I had Berube hop into the driver's seat and show me how it's really done. As I held on tight, he gracefully maintained much higher speeds than I had through each turn after turn, gently feathering the throttle to make the most of the stability control system's Competitive Driving Mode, the tires emitting an almost constant, modest vocalization.
I wasn't nearly as smooth, even after getting some tips, but the CTS-V made me look much better than I might have. Even when I was too eager on the throttle and the car started going sideways, with a slight adjustment of my right foot and the steering wheel the tail always tucked neatly into place. And despite my sometimes ill-timed braking coming out of the course's 140+ mph straightaway, the powerful Brembo brakes (six-piston in front) hauled the CTS-V down to speed without hesitation or drama, while the suspension transferred the CTS-V's 4300 pounds with such finesse, rewarding me with a feeling of poise even when my harried inputs were closer to those of a rally racer.
The way in which Berube, also a longtime weekend SCCA racer, flaunts the CTS-V's not-so-ragged edges with confidence and ease highlights a level of pride and enthusiasm that has sometimes been lacking at the Big Three in the past—even in the teams that engineer high-performance variants. But the V-Series guys really seem to understand the market and the importance of hard-earned track credentials. In recent testing on Germany's Nurburgring, race driver and GM executive John Heinricy brought a production-spec CTS-V to a lap time that's claimed to be the fastest-ever for a production sedan.
That's a claim that likely has Mercedes AMG and BMW M engineers scratching their heads in frustration. But what matters most to some buyers will be the bragging rights of performance numbers, and they're impressive; company officials say that the official 0-60 time of just 3.9 seconds and the 12-second, 118-mph quarter-mile time are the same whether with the standard six-speed manual gearbox or available six-speed automatic. Top speed is 175 mph with the automatic and more than 191 mph with the manual.
Power is provided by a 6.2-liter superchaged V-8 engine—termed LSA to GM and enthusiasts—that is essentially the same one installed in the Corvette ZR1 but with a somewhat smaller, four-lobe supercharger and a few other changes that give it a more refined demeanor. Output, at 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque, is more than a lot of 'poster cars.' The manual transmission is a new Tremec TR6060, with a sweet, precise linkage that's completely new and a twin-disc clutch that feels robust yet has a manageable, light pedal feel; automatic cars get a six-speed unit with a manual gate and tap-shifters just behind the steering wheel.
2009 Cadillac CTS-VEnlarge Photo
Only on the track did we have the nerve to fully exercise the CTS-V, because the torque available throughout the rev band is downright intimidating, especially in the lower gears. Besides having higher output numbers than the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, BMW M5, or Audi RS4, the CTS-V's engine has a much fatter torque curve that smacks you back in your seat just above idle and builds steadily all the way to redline.


text: My best friends family dog Tico, a mastiff/boxer?/hound? cross just got diagnosed with lymphoma at age 5. She hasn't got a mean bone in her giant body and watches over their two year old little girl. The vet had tears in his eyes when he told them. Chemotherapy is out of their price range and the outcome isn't even close to a hopeful outcome even if they do the chemo. They are putting her on predisone asap and hoping for the best. Even if the predisone helps at all the longterm timespan is two months tops. I guess I just want jingles that they get some quality time with her before they have to say goodbye. Their other dog Geb is getting older and they were starting to prepare for him getting old and feeble and instead they're losing their big sweet Tico. Just breaks my heart.

PORTLAND, Ore. – The fugitive former director of a defunct Islamic charity pleaded not guilty to federal conspiracy and tax fraud charges after returning voluntarily to the United States to fight the allegations.
Pirouz Sedaghaty, 49, also known as Pete Seda, a native of Iran who is a U.S. citizen, made a brief appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin in Eugene after he was arrested at the customs checkpoint at Portland International Airport.
Sedaghaty is accused of helping to smuggle $150,000 out of the United States to aid Muslim fighters in Chechnya while he was secretary of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation chapter in Ashland, Ore.
• Get complete coverage in FOXNews.com's War on Terror Center.
The foundation was based in Saudi Arabia, which dissolved the charity in 2004 after the U.S. Treasury Department designated it an organization that supports terrorism.
Sedaghaty has insisted his chapter of the foundation was not involved, despite its addition to the Treasury Department list in September 2004.
His attorneys declined to say Wednesday where Sedaghaty had been living the past four years. Government documents allege the U.S. citizen moved to Dubai in 2003.
Tom Nelson, a Portland attorney who accompanied Sedaghaty on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany, said Sedaghaty was glad to return to Oregon, where he had settled after attending Southern Oregon University and establishing a career as an urban forester and arborist in Ashland.
"Pete has wanted to come home for some time, and he has wanted to clear his name," Nelson said. He called the government case against Sedaghaty is "weak" and noted that despite the tax fraud charge, "not one penny of tax money is at stake here."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Cardani, who is handling the case, declined to comment.
Sedaghaty founded the Oregon chapter of Al-Haramain with a Saudi citizen, Soliman al-Buthi, who returned to Saudi Arabia in 2001.
Unlike Sedaghaty, al-Buthi has been labeled a "specially designated global terrorist" and is considered an international fugitive, although he is working as a government official in Saudi Arabia.
Nelson this month filed a federal lawsuit seeking to remove the Oregon chapter of Al-Haramain from the federal terrorism list.

A North Carolina father responded to his daughter's disrespectful Facebook post by shooting her laptop and putting the video on YouTube.
The eight-minute, 23-second video — which has gone viral with more than two million views since Wednesday — shows Tommy Jordan reprimanding 15-year-old Hannah by reading a letter and then shooting her laptop nine times.
Hannah, who is not in the video, apparently wrote a long Facebook post complaining about the chores she is forced to do.
Her father said she didn't think he would find her online tirade, but the IT worker said he accessed her Facebook page and was disappointed by the complaints, use of profanity and disrespect he saw.
"This is for my daughter, Hannah, and more importantly, all of her friends on Facebook who thought her little rebellious post was cute," Jordan said. "And for all you parents out there that think your kids don't post bad things on Facebook, well, I want to read you one I took off my daughter's Facebook wall."
Jordan reads his daughter's post and then responds to each point, defending his parenting methods and telling her how easy she has it.
"I don't know how to say how disappointed I am in you," he said. "And how disrespectful you were to every single adult in your life. But kid, you got it easy. Way easy. It's about to get harder. It's about to get a whole lot harder. Today."
Jordan then goes off camera and takes out his .45-calibre weapon, shooting nine rounds into her laptop — adding she will have to pay him back for the bullets as well.
He ends the video by addressing the viewers, "Have a good day, y'all."

Blizzard Beach, Walt Disney World is one of two water parks in Walt Disney World. It has a wave pool, water slides, and a lazy river. There's fun for all the family and it happens to be the Hubby's favourite place in the world.
I would recommend arriving at Blizzard Beach with your swimsuit on, you'll be able to get changed quicker and beat the rush. You can hire a locker and a towel (unless you take one with you). and that way you don't need to worry about keeping your things safe.

This summer, back in July, I submitted a recipe to Marx Foods that used some petite golden lentils they'd sent me to test-drive for a friendly blogger contest and well, I won! As my reward, the very kind proprietors of Marx Foods sent me 7 large containers of heirloom beans, in my opinion "exotic" beans, six of which I have never even cooked with before. I was in Greece at the time and my husband was the one who received the package … needless to say I was MUCH more excited to hear what I'd won than he was … he just called me in Greece to say, "Some beans came in the mail. Do you know anything about them?"
There were Appaloosa Beans, Swedish Brown Beans, Cranberry Beans, Black Calypso Beans, Anasazi Beans, European Soldier Beans and Stueben Yellow Eye Beans. A rainbow of edible morsels that nature handpainted in such beautiful detail … just look at them:
Had I not entered my recipe and had not Marx Foods been so generous so as to reward my win with these heirloom beans, I don't think I ever would have actually tried many of these varieties. So a big "Thank You" to Marx Foods for opening my eyes to these little culinary wonders!
I've done much with these bean beauties over the last few months from bean soups, to stews and a couple of different bean dips of which the following is hands down my favorite. It's a simple dip to make and even easier to snack on. Packed with protein and made with three different beans (Appaloosa, Swedish Brown Beans and Black Calypso Beans) this dip also packs a punch because of the smoky chipotle chile I've added.
Three Bean Chipotle Dip
Makes about 3 cups
1/2 cup dry Appaloosa Beans
1/2 cup dry Swedish Brown Beans
1/2 cup dry Black Calypso Beans
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic
Handful of parsley
1 chipotle chile
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Salt to taste
Rinse beans then place in a pot and cover with at least two inches of water. Soak at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain beans and add new water to the pot to cover the beans. Place the pot over high heat and bring water to a boil; add the bay leaf and some salt and simmer the beans until extremely tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
With a slotted spoon remove most of the beans to the bowl of a food processor, leaving about 1/4 to 1/5 of the whole beans aside. Add the garlic, parsley and chipotle chile to the food processor. Cover the bowl and begin processing the beans, streaming in the olive oil as you go until the beans reach a smooth consistency. Pulse in the vinegar and some salt, to taste. Remove the pureed beans to a bowl, stir in the remaining whole beans, adjust seasonings, cover and refrigerate at least one hour. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips or crackers.

Those are some gorgeous beans and the dip sounds delicious. You are so lucky
I'd love to try this! Mmm sounds delicious
First of all congratulations for winning. All beans are new to me but I am sure the dip tasted wonderful.
What a great diP Beans are so addictive.
Happy New Year!
I love beans, and this dip looks absolutely tempting!
Happy New Year!
"Some beans came in the mail. Do you know anything about them?" That is so funny!
Congrats Maria:)
Nice bit of swag those Marx folks sent ya and bean dips are a fave at parties (hint-hint for NYE).
I like that you added some vinegar to add I guess what they call 'brightness'. I just know it elevated the dish for sure.
Happy new year to you and your family.
Congrats on winning! That's funny about your husband's reaction. Hahaa. What a score on those beautiful, exotic beans. I love blending up beans into different dips but never experimented with chipotle. Looks and sounds scrumptious!
I've received beans from MarxFoods as well and they are beauties for sure! This three bean dip sounds amazing! I wouldn't be able to stop dipping pita chips into it.
Very yummy looking dip! Thanks for sharing.
This dip looks delicious! Congratulations on winning!
I love beans!!!! they look wonderful and the dip looks beautiful and I'll bet it tastes delicious.
Great idea of having three kind of beans in one dish…nice dip! Happy New Year!
Beans in the mail…that sounds at once strange and delightful. I like what you've done with the beans – the dip/spread looks wonderful.
We love beans. We love chipotle. Never thought to combine the two in a dip. Will try soon, hopefully with better quality beans than HEB store brand!
[...] Main Dishes, Make-Ahead on 01 29th, 2011 | no comments I've mentioned before all those beans I received from Marx Foods, right? So many beans, so little time [...]

Discussion in 'Bible Study' started by Silk, Jul 13, 2014.
I am curious what other members think is going on here - mental illness? Demoniacs?
Definitely seems demonic to me. Interesting title and category to put this thread in...
True, it might better to be in a different place but Bible Studies is like home to me. What is astonishing to me is Sabina, who was hit by a smaller vehicle (Ursala was hit by a truck) got up and ran out again. Both should have died. And it reminded me of the bible verse; about men wishing to die but can't in the end times.

If your heating system is more than about five years old it could be worth checking to see if the system is likely to scale up or the water difficult to circulate due to a sludge build up. If you live in a hard water area, scaling of the boiler can take place; this reduces the efficiency of the boiler consequently using more fuel making it more expensive to run.
To check this, draw off about a pint of water from the system and check the colour, this should be a dirty grey colour if it is normal, if it is black then you will have sludge building up, a rusty or brown colour indicates that corrosion is taking place.
If you find that sludge or rust is evident you will need to add an inhibitor, available from all plumbing or heating supply outlets, always ensure that you de-scale the system first. To de-scale the system first empty the header tank completely or until the water stops running out of the outlet hose. If the system is a number of years old it is better to flush the system through by draining and refilling a few times until the water is clear.
Now add the de-scaler to the header tank and refill the system. Turn the boiler to a high setting and run for about a week. Check the instructions to see if the de-scaler requires neutralising before draining of the system and refilling.
Now add a good corrosion inhibitor to the tank and refill the heating system, start the pump which will distribute the inhibitor throughout the whole heating system. This should be done every five or so years to ensure that your heating system keeps in good working order.

Fraser Forster: What I think of Chelsea's interest in me
But the Southampton goalkeeper insists he's focussing on Euro 2016 – not a summer transfer.
Since returning to Saints following a lengthy absence with a knee injury, Forster has been in fine form, cementing himself as England's second-choice goalkeeper behind Joe Hart at the Euros this summer.
He said: "I think it is a compliment in many ways because if you are being linked with teams then you are obviously doing the right things.

Lego Sets For Girls
March 16, 2017 in Entertainment
Typically, Lego building blocks were targeted generally for boys: Trucks & Cars, Trains & Buses, Cops & Robbers, and also the list go on with stereotyped rate of interest for children. It was only time that the 80 year old brick producing business would bring out what appears like "girl-Lego" or as they're branded: Lego Pals.
With sparkling item names such as "Heartlake Vet Facility" and also "Andrea's Phase" what girl cannot withstand obtaining Lego Friends that can be found in brand-new pastel shade obstructs, and the days of women having to need to play with Celebrity Wars jet competitors are over. Yet some critics assume that the Lego sets 2016 for women have been washed down from just what Lego was planned to offer: fixing a 3-dimensional puzzle.
In the Lego neighborhood, the lovers build models based on the instructions given with their box, but at some point they weary of that particular version and also start customizing it to their sort or perhaps created something completely different. Find any kind of lover internet site and you make certain to locate an enough range of different combinations of Lego blocks that make something rather amazing unique. And however with the Lego Pals, which supply ladies with one plastic casts of equines as well as mini-figs (Lego individuals, mini figurines) with minimal interchange components, it leaves limits to one's creative imagination. Lego has actually constantly had boy as well as woman mini-figs, why produce a line of 12 curved ones with nearly manipulable hairdo.
As leading countries are having a more challenging time in obtaining ladies curious about design, Lego believed they could fix that trouble, except the friends-line is a lot more intriguing for 3 to 4 years of age instead of 6 to 12. Yet the problem truly lies with why not market so-assumed young boy products to women? Why disappoint ladies playing with automobiles and also planes? And it's not such as Disney's Cars movie was purely for boys, neither ought to their Disney Automobile's Lego sets and Lego Disney minifigures.
Esther Cepeda's of Washington Post Writers Group in her post "Concerning those new Lego's for women" states that as fun as the pastel shades are appealing there is no reasons for mothers and also dauthers to"… stroll to the next aisle and also embrace the rest of Lego's general interest items such as medieval market towns and also castles."
In conclusion, the activity to market to girl-friendly Lego's was a good idea, is this author's point of view. It is not the easiest market to get in, and could be with time as well as some tips from mothers and also group observations Lego Buddies won't go the method of the now defunct Lego Universe.

Liam Payne's Facebook was hacked late Sunday with links to porn and other sexual content. Naturally, Directioners were the first to discover the security breach.
Fans who follow Payne's verified Facebook page and receive notifications for each new post were notified of several updates. But none of the posts were from the singer himself. And none of them were appropriate for underage supporters.
One featured an image of Miley Cyrus sucking on a dildo, while another had a photo that appeared to show Katy Perry lifting her top. A third post featured a caricature of two people having sex as part of an article on the "10 best positions you didn't know."
Whoever uploaded the post also wrote "Try it..," as if Payne himself was urging his followers to click onto the pornographic story. There were several other posts of a similar nature, screengrabs of which are still circulating on Twitter. The actual posts in question, though, have been deleted from Payne's Facebook page.
Now all that remains are photos of him with the rest of One Direction. The singer has not commented on the hacking, which came just a few days after it was confirmed Payne and girlfriend Cheryl Cole are having a baby. Cole herself was hacked on Instagram a few months ago.

Development of De-identification Tools for Video Surveillance Data
Balancing the needs of safety and surveillance with the expectation of individual privacy has been an ongoing debate among privacy advocates, citizen groups, political leaders, and surveillance equipment manufacturers. In the wake of the September 2001 terrorist attacks, significantly more video surveillance systems continue to be deployed in a variety of locations. These systems pose significant questions not only about privacy concerns, but also about their effectiveness. A study conducted by Sandia in the 1970s for the U.S. Department of Energy found that even a highly motivated observer's attention becomes less than effective after just 20 minutes of monitoring. This is a critical point because effective counter-terrorism measures require video data to be processed in real-time, yet we have more data than can be practically processed manually. To automatically process video surveillance data, we have to store and distribute these data over the network.
This proposal is to request a seed grant from Cylab to develop de-identification tools for video surveillance data. These tools will support automatically extract relevant information from video surveillance data where such data has been rendered sufficiently anonymous in order to protect the privacy of innocent civilians. The proposed work will be built upon our successful efforts and existing systems and technologies previously developed in real-time visual tracking, recognition, human activity analysis, and semi-automatically video data labeling (Yang 1998, Yang 1999, Chen 2002, Yan 2003, Chen 2004, Yan 2004). Figure 1 illustrates an example of masking people identity based on real-time people tracking results.
Figure 1: An Example of masking people identity based on people tracking results.
We will develop three kinds of tools for reducing privacy concerns in order for video surveillance data to be shared more freely. First, we will develop a set of real-time algorithms for locating faces in video surveillance data and then obscuring found faces in such a way that people are de-identified. Second, we will study how well humans and face recognition software can recognize individuals, whose images have been de-identified, and seek to develop algorithms that can then render these individuals sufficiently anonymous (the latter being a higher standard than merely obscuring faces). Finally, we will develop a cryptographic version of our obscuring algorithms. With permission (realized as a cryptographic key), the distortions provided in the data to protect people's identities will be removed so that the original image is restored. Without permission, the image is provably secure from such restoration. All of these tools are innovative and will be newly created, building on our past success in tracking faces and rendering other kinds of data sufficiently anonymous.

"It makes me laugh when people tell me I'm going to regret my tattoos when I'm older. Yeah, when my health is deteriorating, and I struggle to get around, I'm sure the first thought I'll have is, "Damn, I wish I didn't have tattoos that remind me of the good days." Yeah, right."For an individual with tattoos, it isn't simply a medium to decorate or put colorful designs on his/her body. There can be a variety of reasons why someone would select a particular design to get tattooed onto themselves.

21 Cute Behind-the-ear Tattoo Designs
Although we mentioned that these tattoos are more popular among women, it shouldn't automatically reflect that men can't get one for themselves. With interesting, head-turning designs, anyone can get a tattoo inked behind their ears.

Do Behind-the-ear Tattoos Hurt?
Yes, of course. No matter where you get a tattoo inked on your body, it is going to be painful. When you get a tattoo done, the needle(s) will pierce your skin in order to inject the ink. Now, if you are wondering what the pain level will be on a scale of 1―10, then the answer will be a bit fuzzy. Technically speaking, every individual is capable to handling pain; however, it is difficult to anticipate as to "how much" is too much.
On the other hand, since we are talking about a tattoo behind the ear, the level of pain can be a bit high. As the skin is quite thin and delicate, without any body fat or muscle, the process is going to be a bit more sensitive. But don't let it deter you from getting a tattoo at this location. Once you make up your mind about getting a tattoo, and are completely aware of the process, you will be surprised to learn that your body is capable of withstanding the pain. Plus, the pain is only temporary, but the tattoo will look cool on you forever.
Since these types of tattoos can be easily concealed, they rarely become controversial at work (unless the design stretches down the neck). Whether this will be your first tattoo, or the tenth, what matters the most is that you are proud of your ink, and be kind to others. This way, you can leave a lifelong impression on people who are worth impressing, and cast aside the negative attitudes coming your way.

Complexity, convenience and safety are killing the planet
People in the UK are now very aware of global warming, climate change and the need for us all to change our way of life to help save the planet. By now I think most of us must be switching off lights when we leave the room and turning off the tap when we brush our teeth. Some of us are even not flushing the loo every time we pee.
So is that all? I'm doing all that - problem sorted? Surely not. In which case, what next?
Try the way the industrialised world is structured and run.
Many of the systems in place and the things that we use are designed and programmed to be wasteful of resources. For example:
- the system which forces some law firms to print out a copy of every email sent and received, in order to satisfy their insurers.
- the compex home entertainment system which has to be re-programmed whenever it's switched off overnight.
- the computer network which takes 11 minutes to boot up, so office workers have no incentive to shut it down.
- the health and safety rules that don't allow people set up small initiatives of their own without licences, permits, inspections and experts.
To really save resources and slow down emissions we need to make radical changes at the top level systems of the industrialised world, and to tackle three core concepts at source:
- the COMPLEXITY of the way things (systems and items of equipment) are organised
- the CONVENIENCE AND CHOICE to which we have become accustomed and
- the level of SAFETY AND SECURITY to which we feel entitled.
I am looking for examples of problems in these three core areas, which may have become so much a part of the culture that we don't even see them as being possible to change, especially if people have grown up with them. I'm also looking for examples of solutions already in place.
Send your examples of the following:
- COMPLEXITY: complex systems and equipment, especially where they use a lot of resources and where individuals no longer have any ownership of them - and ways in which communities are enabling people to establish less complex systems for themselves.
- CONVENIENCE AND CHOICE: unnecessary convenience measures and choices which we have now got used to, despite being able to exist without them in the not so distant past - plus tips which we may have forgotten or never known.
- SAFETY AND SECURITY: measures designed to make us more safe and secure but which in reality are sucking us into a fantasy world of total safety which, even if it were possible, would need unlimited resources to maintain it - and ways in which people are bucking the risk averse trend to make changes for themselves.
Send your responses as a comment below or email them to me at email@example.com
Thank you

Destiny's own ARG has officially sprung into life. Destiny, in case you're just joining the party, is Bungie's new original IP of which we know very little, beyond the fact that some leaked concept art places the game on a ruined future-Earth orbited by a massive, spherical alien ship.
Perhaps more obvious in its implementation than some of Bungie's previous ARG efforts, the new jam requires the user to "begin by aligning the day's pattern to the light," which is to say, arrange a pattern of eight diamonds into the correct configuration, thus granting access to the site in full.
Once inside, the user is presented with some delightfully cryptic information: A small section of a larger geometric pattern/glyph on the left, an abstract matrix of dots on the right, and at the bottom of the page, a message. "Your node will remain active for 5 minutes, but may be reactivated as necessary. Distributed, synchronous effort required."
Depending on the number of active users viewing the site at any given time, the image on the left will either be more or less obscured/legible. Likewise, the dot matrix on the right will be populated with more or fewer dots, based on current traffic. Once a sufficient number of users are online, a screenshot the dot matrix can be analyzed for information in Photoshop or similar. Yesterday's matrix, for instance, revealed a file extension that, once placed onto the end of the site's URL, rewarded studious sleuths with a large image and passage.
Games such as this typically evolve as time goes on, so the complexity of the puzzles and the amount of technical skill required to solve them is likely to increase on a daily basis. There's also no indication of what happens after the seventh day, but we're eager to help find out. And, by "help," we mean "read forum threads and get excited when smart people solve things for us."

Seafood and fish-related products have long enjoyed a stranglehold on the title of Iceland's biggest export, but beautiful, offbeat, experimental music seems to be coming out just as fast. Among their countrymen, the members of M�m combine the airy glockenspiel grandeur of Sigur Ros and the house-y electronica of GusGus, but they manage to achieve a grandiose sound with a fraction of the members those bands have. As tends to characterize Icelandic "rock," the focus is on texture and atmosphere rather than virtuosity, a trait found too rarely amongst talented musicians from other countries.
These Peel sessions, recorded live in studio in September 2002, display M�m between the release of its highly praised 2000 debut, Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today Is OK, and its follow-up, 2002's Finally We Are No One, when the band lost Gyoa Valtysdottir, one of its founding members, and was operating as a trio. It's unclear how much of the music here is preprogrammed aside from the beats and occasional washes, but it's an astounding, seamless array of instruments packed into the twenty-one-minute, four-song set.
If you didn't know better, you'd never know this is performed live-the sound quality is as pristine as the performance. After opening with a combination of songs, "Scratched Bicycle/Smell Memory," the band dips into an unmistakably Tortoise vibe on "Awake on a Train," a plinking digital melody line vaulting around a reedy synth and faintly hummed vocals. The beats are complex and fairly static over the first half the song, until a zippy tweak distorts the groove into a mellower vein. The ethereal vocals in "Now There Is That Fear Again" float above a glitchy beat that sounds like a collection of lighters snapping shut in a dizzy rhythm, while an accordion drones a haunting melodic bed for a delicate string line.
The set closes with the unearthly "The Ballad of the Broken String," off Yesterday Was Dramatic, a spare, breathy accordion drone and mournful harmonium accompanied by rattling noise. It completes the dramatic stylistic shifts of the set by touting another facet of M�m's diversity. After showing off its accomplishments as dynamic beat programmers, complicated vocal harmonies and mastery of an eclectic range of instruments, the closing dirge stands out for its quiet simplicity.
There are probably better places to start with M�m, because the brevity of this live set as an official release borders on the outrageous for all but the most dedicated completist. But as for stirring up interest in the band's new album, due later this year, and showcasing the musicianship of one of Iceland's finest bands, mission accomplished.

It seems here in Iowa and the rest of the midwest the real Super Bowl is all about Da Bears Vs. Packers on Sunday. I am finding prayers on facebook like this one…
Our father, who art in Chicago, football be the game. Let Forte run, another Superbowl won, on earth as it is in Soldier Field. Give us Sunday a playoff victory and forgive us our penalties, as we defeat the Packers who play against us, and lead us into the post season and deliver us to Texas. For thine is the D-line, Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, Hester and Peppers forever…Amen!
I am finding weather forecasts like this one…
"WARNING*** The National Weather Service has issued a FLASH FLOOD WARNING for GREEN BAY, WI and surrounding areas for Sunday the 23rd of January. This warning will be in effect from 2:00pm until 6:00pm. This Flash Flood will be caused by the tears of the Packer Fans as they watch their crazy Superbowl dreams fade away. Crying will in……tensify as the game goes on!
My dilemma on this to ask myself do I Lovie Chicago more than I want the Packers to Suck Cheese or do I want the Packers to Suck Cheese more than I Lovie Chicago?
It will be a great game. The Packers have great momentum coming into the game. I just just hope its hard for them to play, as hard as it is to suck cheese through a straw because most of all I Lovie Chicago!

Been to a few of these Granite City places - all the same. About 6 beers - 5 regular, 1 rotating - pretty decent beer overall. The Pale Ale/IPA is my favorite, although they happened to be out of it tonight (Doh!). Food is always above average also, good menu selection.
oldcatcher (19) Mattoon, Illinois | March 20, 2011
Nice place. Was very crowded when we were there on Saturday night. Had a very decent Bock. My wife had the Northern Light and said it was decent also. Didn't try the food, so can't comment, but there sure were a lot of people in there eating.

Horrible food. Crappy beer.
illinismitty (279) Nashville, Tennessee | January 30, 2010
I stopped in for a late dinner on my way to the Embassy Suites. Decor is very semi-upscale with a chain ambiance. They had a nice selection of beer styles on tap, however not all of them are brewed on premises. The beers were just ok, with the exception of their Pale Ale and Batch 1000- those were decent. My flat bread pizza was extremely bland, and tasted like a generic frozen pizza. My dad had pork chops, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw which was not bad. We ate at the bar and the bartender was excellent. Friendly and attentive. I recommend getting the sampler and choosing your go to beer from that.
jmw141 (9) Canton, Illinois | July 31, 2008
Plenty of seating inside and out. Sits along the Illinois riverfront. Staff was courteous and prompt. The lighting was quite dark but that provided for a private atmosphere. Unfortunately, it had a poor beer variety and I wasn't even offered or informed any seasonals. However, my sampler was free and my 20 oz. IPA was delicious. Server knew a little about beer, but thats probably a prerequisite to work here. The food was great, large portions. Would I go back? Yes, definitely, I have a few more brews to try.

Chartwell Dutiro, Zimbabwean musician and musicologist, lives in Britain. He sings, writes and plays music with his group Spirit Talk Mbira. He also teaches at London University and gives workshops worldwide.
Chartwell Dutiro used traditional music with words in Shona to protest against stale authority and the oppression of colonialism, which has left a strong mark on him. His family was relocated into a protected village when he was very young.
Chartwell Dutiro's first-name was given to him by missionaries when he was a child, although his original name is Shorai, which means ̶You can underestimate me if you wish". Chartwell began playing the mbira at four, although the traditional instrument was banned at that time. Later he played the mbira for a spiritualist. He also took up the saxophone.
Just like his instrument, the Mbira, is used to call the spirits during traditional ceremonies, Chartwell Dutiro calls for guidance from the spirits of the soil and sings that the oppressors have made it hard to survive, but then the reformer does not swim with the current". His musical fame spread and, one day, he teamed up with Zimbabwean celebrity Thomas Mapfumo and Blacks Unlimited. This turned into an eight-year musical partnership.
Chartwell has been in Britain for six years. His music emphasizes spirituality but also has political messages. The song 'Gamura makaka, that he recorded for Refugee Voices ' is about old men bossing people around and stale authority. He believes in the power of music: "I think music can bring people together. The moment we start playing music language doesn't matter, the language is in the music".
It's too much, old men bossing people around Their presence is an overbearing weight to our hearts Here, there, and even there, you are the boss!
But I have got my arrow to serve as my word

Children may be receiving the highest exposure to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide in candy, which they eat in amounts much larger than adults, according to a new study. Published in ACS' journal, Environmental Science & Technology, it provides the first broadly based information on amounts of the nanomaterial - a source of concern with regard to its potential health and environmental effects - in a wide range of consumer goods.
In the study, Paul Westerhoff, Ph.D., and colleagues point out that titanium dioxide is a common additive to many consumer products, from food to paint to cosmetics. Westerhoff explained that the body releases the nanoparticles in feces and urine, sending them to wastewater treatment plants, which cannot prevent the smallest particles from entering lakes and rivers. Only one previous study, done a decade ago, reported on titanium dioxide content in a few commercial products. To fill the knowledge gap about the sources of humans' exposures, the researchers bought and tested food, personal care products, paints and adhesives and measured how much titanium dioxide they contain.
The group found that children consume more titanium dioxide than adults because sweets like candies, marshmallows and icing are among the products with the highest levels. The paper lists the names of the products tested and their titanium dioxide content. Westerhoff recommends that regulators shift their focus from the type of titanium dioxide used in paints and industrial processes to food-grade particles, because those are much more likely to enter the environment and pose a potential risk to humans and animals.

At The Bridge Church we're passionate about families and connecting people to Jesus.
On our faith journey there are many steps along the way. At The Bridge Church we want to make your next step clear. Perhaps you want more information or would like to learn more about a brand new church in Ellis County.
The Bridge Church is a brand new church in Midlothian/Waxahachie, TX. We have a desire to be a visible part of the community and seek to reach people where they are. We aren't perfect and aren't looking for perfect people. We're aware that sin is ugly, life is messy, and everybody has some hurts, habits, and hang-ups that Jesus wants to work on.
At The Bridge Church we have core values that will shape our culture from the very beginning of our journey together. These are important to us and will guide us along the way.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Doing Life Together – Because we don't think anyone should go it alone.
While we admit we are not a perfect church, there are some things we're very passionate about and are determined to get right from the start…
We will boldly teach the truth of the Bible in a way that can be understood and lived out, even for people who are unfamiliar with it.
Our music will be fresh and dynamic, less of a performance and more of a time where people participate together in seeking God.
We will be family oriented and seek to help strengthen the family in a variety of different ways.
We will lead kids to experience worship and understand the truth of the Bible on their own level in at atmosphere that is safe, fun, and positive.
We have a casual atmosphere where real people can connect with no pressure to "look the part." Jeans are welcome.
We realize that we need each other. We don't think anyone should have to do life alone. Do we have it all figured out? Definitely not. But we know we're much stronger together than we are alone.
When you truly experience Jesus – nothing is ever the same again.
We realize that there are many churches in the world and every church has different values and priorities. Wherever you find yourself on the faith spectrum, we know that Jesus wants to meet you there.
Our Mission at The Bridge Church: To see lives transformed by a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
We would love to share with you more about The Bridge Church.
