Heaven Has Come....
PoeticIntensity
And in a sense, that's true!
Yes, folks... Another addition to the illustrious Jones family has arrived here on earth just in time to watch his dad go a little more insane. If we were talking about anything other than the bunch of lunatics running around this house, that might just seem a little alarming, but we're not.
So it isn't. :)

Life is a contradiction.
PoeticIntensity
Man.... No wonder we're all so screwed up in this life. If someone out there honestly does not think he or she is screwed up in some manner hasn't really lived. :)

What to write today...

Let's see what I can get written in 5 minutes tonight.
Work is going quite well. I'm learning tons about Linux and administrating SLES9 servers. This might turn to my advantage because I have a friend (the ever popular Linux evangelist Scott Morris... yeah, that guy) who works at Novell (where I used to work) who will accept some tutorials writ...

PoeticIntensity
All I gotta say is, I'm glad I had a lot of clothes on this morning. Yes, it was friggin' cold outside, but that was only a small nuisance. The real reason I'm glad I had many layers on was due to the large amount of crap I shot in my drawers when I checked the main server log files this morning.
Around 9:30, the floor admin came to me saying he...

Moroni : 1
PoeticIntensity
Holy cow. I only have 10 more chapters to go, and I'll finish the goal I set 3 years ago, to read and write about each chapter in the Book of Mormon. I'm not sure why, but when I just realized that (like 1 minute ago), it was kind of surreal for me. Anyway... Here goes.

My testimony (Godhead)

"How have you been changed by knowing the Godhead?"
To be honest, I don't think I would recognize myself without the relationship I have with God, through prayer, with Christ through his atonement, and with the Holy Ghost's comfort and guidance.
Knowing the Godhead,to me, means that I have an incredible force behind my righteous choic...

Ether : 10

So... Interesting that one of the reasons cited for Heth's righteousness is his remembering what the Lord had done for his people, specirfically, bringing Jared and his kin over the ocean. There has got to be something behind the whole "remember what the Lord has done for you" thing, and living a righteous life. Heck.. E...

2nd Nephi : 2 - Part 2

Something in verse 13 struck me as interesting, even though it probably could be considered common knowledge among the LDS population.
I never remember seeing anything quite as obvious relating to happiness as Alma 41:10, which states "Wickedness never was happiness". Well... It's easy to inverse-ify it and say "If wic...

Alma : 19
PoeticIntensity
One thing that comes to mind while reading the first verses of this chapter is, "If I were a queen, and my servants brought me my unconscious husband, I'd immediately want to know who did it." - and Ammon did it. That doesn't make much sense to me. Obviously the times of the Book of Mormon were , uh, different, so that could e...

Echo Audiofire12 + Gentoo Linux

**UPDATED ARTICLE HERE** (for using the new firewire stack)
Okay. I got my new Echo Audiofire12 3 days ago, and I now have it fully functioning on all 12 ports. I don't have MIDI working yet, but I haven't really tried on that one.
Here's what I did to get it working.
First, I'm using the 2.6.33-rt kernel. I enabled the OLD FIRE...

Mormon : 5 - Arms of Jesus
PoeticIntensity
So, the past few days have been days of trial, and these days come and go largely, I believe, to help me remember the covenants I've made to God, and to help me remember how sweet it is to feel the Spirit.
When I read the end of verse 11, I wondered what those who had never felt "clasped in the arms of Jesus" might think of those ...
