Charity, Works, and Motive
PoeticIntensity
Growing up, I'd have to say that I was a bit of a pious punk religiously, but I was so due, in large amount, to my being incredibly naive.
To demonstrate my naive-ness, I really thought that being emotional was pretty much the same as being spiritual. Yes... Believe it. I was naive.
One other bit of heretical doctrine I beli...

Solid Programming

I am by no means a "versatile programmer" in the general sense of the word. I know of many programmers who are much more well versed in various languages and best practices methodology. In fact, I am not even a computer science graduate, and I don't have a masters degree in anything.
*BUT*

Time with Sister
sarahkimjones
I just spent some time with my sister Chloe. It is always fun to be with her. She cracks me up. Jovie, my new little niece, is so cute. She smiles all the time and has the most kissable cheeks. We went to Arby's for lunch and the people working today were very strange, but the food was still good.

Doctrine of Peace

Due to recent events in my life, I've been feeling a little like the waves constantly lapping at the shore - in motion or at unrest. I know the sounds of the ocean usually bring a feeling of peace, but .... not if you're in the water.... :)
Anyway... This feeling of unrest has brought on a bunch of thoughts and ponderings to me as I'...

Concerning world events, I'll be the first to say that I'm a pretty naive guy. I keep up on stuff that's important to me, but not too much more. I realize that this is somewhat of a flaw, so I am trying to involve myself much more with the world.
That said, on the morning of Sept 10, 2001 - if you asked me what the "world trade ...

Uncomfortable Spirituality
PoeticIntensity
I was brought up in a good, wholesome LDS home where abuse wasn't even thought about. I didn't even know abuse was a word until I learned about it from others. I went to church, had a good time, and generally enjoyed a wonderful family life.
During my teenage years, I started thinking about spirituality for no apparent reason. I star...

So, he liked it so much, and from what I could tell, ...

One day along time ago,
Before the world began
A plan was given to each of us
It was placed in our willing hands
There were two parts to this plan
One was for all the world
The other plan was just for us
About our life and what was in store
This first plan included a Savior
Jesus Christ, our brother
He will come to earth...
