Here we go -a-changin'-jobs again...
PoeticIntensity
I've been strugging on how to blog about what's been going on, and I'm sick of thinking about it, so here I go.
About a month ago, I was sitting at my happy job, getting paid pretty well, liking very much, for the most part, the environment which I had been blessed to work in for the past 1 1/2 years, when an email came to my inbox from the UPHPU...

Is this move right?
PoeticIntensity
Okay, people.... I'm here at Truenorth Academy and I just can't shake the feeling of anxiety I have of leaving this place. I'm gonna start my new job at Nature's Way, which by all intents and purposes, should be the job I have for the rest of my life. It pays fantastic, the people seem wonderful.... It's just that the people here at Truenorth ar...

Nature's Way
PoeticIntensity
Holy moly. I'm not sure I can type everything I need to, but I'm gonna try.
I gave my two-weeks today at Truenorth Academy after talking with two people at Nature's Way to make certain the offer they are making me. I'm not exactly sure where this decision will lead me, but after praying and doing some analysis of our own, Sarah and I believe t...

PoeticIntensity
Alright... This is insane.
On Friday (2 days ago), we were here in California, and my cell phone was in the van. Unbeknownst to me, Andrea Clifford from Natures Way called around 11:00am, telling me that they were done with the 2nd-round interviews and wanted to talk to me concerning the web developer position. I got that message around 4:20....

What does "rich" really mean?
PoeticIntensity
I've been reading the scriptures a bit lately, and I came upon a verse which intrigued me. That verse quickly made me think of this one, and this one. Let's not forget this one - that's a good one, too - verse 33 being the focus.
Here's another really good one warning of the dangers of the previous entries, and further proving the point that at l...

Wow... About a week ago I got an email about a job offer here in Springville. The offer itself did not really have anything to do with any of the current skills I have. However, moments away from just discarding it, I decided to take the plunge and I sent an email in response. Here's the email:
To whom this may concern:

The answer to that question in today's world is "Not on your life." However, in a perfect utopia, the answer would definitely be, to a degree, "yes".

The lesson was on "Obedience Born of Faith in God". Well... I spent about 5 ...

3 Nephi : 15
PoeticIntensity
From the beginning of this chapter, it's obvious that Christ means business when he makes covenants. Causing entire books to be written, and then keeping 100% of everything that is written means something.
I wonder why the people thought that Christ's coming "destroyed" the prophets? Interesting.
I love verse 9. &q...

In a nutshell, the professor makes the claim of God creating Satan, and thus creating evil, and thereby ...

1st Nephi : 12 - Beautiful Yet Horrible

I had forgotten that in this chapter, Nephi sees the Lord descend from heaven to the people who would be born from Nephi.
