ILMJ Video Almost Here
PoeticIntensity
I've been working a bit on adding the possibility of video journaling to ILoveMyJournal.com.
I'm not 100% sure if it will work well enough for those who are less technically inclined, but today I was able to get a proof-of-concept working.
One of my journal entries now has a video (the video is of the UVSC Car Show put on yesterday).
Just to ...

To start, I must say that the video above was created using a very old digital camera. It shoots at 15 fps, so, that is why the video quality is so horrible. I'll see if I can't get a more decent video later on. Now, on with the entry...

Gen. Conf. - Abuse - Scott
PoeticIntensity
While Elder Scott was talking about the justice of the Father, I couldn't help but remember a very simple conversation I had with a childhood friend named Jared Peck.
He was talking about scenarios of people hurting the ones he loved, and how he would get back at them. I sat and made the required remarks such as, "oh", and "y...

Gen. Conf. - Our Hearts - Lund

This talk really got me thinking about where my heart is.
As I've grown older, my pet sins are still doing their best to have their portion of my heart dedicated to them. I'm still doing my best to assure they don't.
Often, I wonder how my life will differ in this aspect 5 or 10 years from now. Will I still struggle with the same si...

I've never noticed that by the way Christ speaks to his father, he is displaying total and complete humility.
If Christ submits himself to the will of the Father so willingly and completely, who are we to suppose we are above doing so ourselves?

PoeticIntensity
So... To be honest, this chapter is kind of confusing. Verse 1 and 2 is like Moroni is talking directly to Joseph Smith, due to his referencing the ability to "translate". That in itself is kind of cool. I've often thought what it must have been like to be Joseph Smith receiving the plates and translating when he gets to...

Man... This chapter was brutal. Wars, wickedness, and death. Seems to me that this is the result of giving power to Satan, letting him run rampant. Hating your neighbor and wanting to kill him for the sake of being bloodthirsty. So terribly sad, and unfortunate.
