Thanking God

I haven't really thanked God for my welding.......but...........I thank Him for my ability to lick stamps when I mail my bills, or when I know which end of the pen to put to paper, or in what order to use toilet paper...before or after,
and I could go on and on. I am not trying to be disrespectful, but some of these threads are dumb, out of line, and not suitable on a welding site. If I am wrong or have offended anyone, I'm sorry. These are my opinions and you can thank God you have the ability to disregard them. I don't believe this is the place which is to not to say I don't believe.

Monte I completely respect your opinion. I really do thank god that I wake up every morning breath fresh air but if it wasn't for him I dont think I would have my job I have at this age I prayed and prayed every night that I would be able to be where I am today I am not a very religous person but I do believe there is a god outthere who watches over us keeps us safe etc. I really odnt tihnk any post on this site is a waste except the stupd spam ones. I did this thread because I really enoy hearing other peoples welding stories experiences, I find them quite interesting to read.

I'll also respect your reason. I am in no way trying to censor your ideas.

YEA I thank GOD for my gift of welding ability....it took me and my family from a POS trailer house to a 4 bedroom home and a seperate piece of property with 2 shop buildings on it and a boat and 4 vehichles and 1 son picked it up and is making a TON of $$$$ in structural welding and I think this is the BEST place to go on about it....if not where else for all the moral support we give each other on a snowed out day such as this??

[youngwelder_154]

I agree Fusionking welding can make alot of money. I know it will beable to look after me and my family (when that time comes) But to me welding is alot more then just money I have a passion for it. the only shows in TV and books I read are about welding or choppers right now im reading a book in Jesse James and Iorded a free mag online for welding I want to subscribe to it, and if any of you guys know about any mags please give me some email sites please and thank you

Memories

The memory that started my career..

Good times.

Thats a good way to start a career being in the newspaper. thast oen thing I have never had the chance to do but hopefully soon Iwill for something I do.

[JonnyTIG]

Actually, it wasn't the 'being in the news paper' that started the career for me. I was your age, first year fresh into welding, and winning the gold medal in the competition gave me the incentive to become better at something I could do, and since then I've never looked back. If I hadn't thought I was a good welder back then, I may have dropped it for mechanics or not worked as hard toward my goals. That is what makes it a good memory.

[youngwelder_154]

Gold medal congradz! I wish I could win a medal for something maybe someday ill be lucky to do so in welding as well!

So far in my lifetime, I've had occasion to be quoted in the news media twice. They got it wrong both times

[youngwelder_154]
