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
PoeticIntensity
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*
I do have a lot of experience i...

You would think I have an alterior motive for this post, due to the fact that I am currently employed by Nature's Way, but I honestly don't. I hope you'll see why soon.

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 ...

So, a few weeks ago, the studio acquired a Jackson electric guitar and didn't really have any experience with it. So a good friend and client of the studio came in and messed around a bit with it, and using a great dual-mic technique to get the most out of the amp, we managed to get a very, very nice guitar tone out of it.
Soon, it will be ...

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...

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.

Nothing really jumped out and grabbed me for this chapter.
I liked how Nephi was seemingly fiercely loved by his people. I wish we had a president today like that. Seems like politics in general now has nothing to do with what is best for the country. It's all about backstabbing, getting rich, and furthering agendas. I wo...

2nd Nephi : 26 - Part 2
PoeticIntensity
Ya know, I sure am glad that Nephi wrote verse 22 of this chapter. In all of scripture, this is the only chapter which uses the word "flaxen" to describe the way Satan tempts us.
Flax is a fiber from a plant which is used to make linen. Linen isn't known for its strength.
Satan indeed does "lead us" with very ent...

I told you I love you,
And yet you broke my heart.
you had to run around,
Behind my back!
Now I'm sitting here,
I can't think of anyonelse!
But the one thing rings in my head,
Why was I never good enough for you?
How come I'm alone?
I wanted to give you my heart,
But you just can't be true,
Can you?
Now your running around,
