Yeah, So it's been awhile...
PoeticIntensity
Okay... I think it's time I wrote something. The last everyone knew, I was jobless, on welfare, losing hope in humanity, depressed, bordering on despair, and a little bit sad, too.
Well... Although it's not perfect, I do have a job now. My wonderful long-time friend Scott Morris happened to mention to his boss that ...

Zend Studio on Gentoo AMD64
PoeticIntensity
Since I've been job-hopping for the last bit, I've had the chance to install fresh gentoo builds on quite a few 64-bit computers in the last couple of months.
I've also been looking at different IDEs for PHP development. After using jEdit now for close to 5 years, I've gotta say the one which impresses me the most is Zend Studio for Eclips...

Preschool Graduation

Cecilia graduated from Preschool last month, but I finally am getting around to posting the pictures of it. She absolutely loved her graduation. She felt very special.
This is her Preschool class singing songs for us for their graduation ceremony. The little boy in the yellow shiny shirt is Owen's little brother.

Alma : 32
PoeticIntensity
I wasn't in the best of moods while reading this, this morning, but I must say that it helped me gain a bit of focus for the job hunt this morning.
The principle that jumped out at me this time around was that of humility. Going through the pain that is sometimes required to bring about humility just might be the thing that saves your soul....

Interesting Alma used the phrase "my heart began to sicken" when he heard about what the Zoramites were doing. That is such a descriptive word, and I can almost feel what he described as I read...

Alma 30 : Korihor

Beginning this chapter, another testament to the correlation between peace and keeping God's commandments is apparent. Giving "strict" heed to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel undoubtedly brings peace.
Now, on a totally different note, I wonder where Korihor came from? It just says that he came into the land. Was ...

Chapter 29 of Alma is such a good chapter - on so many levels, too.

Quote - "Sometimes, the truth may just seem too straightforward, too plain, and too simple for us to fully appreciate its great value.

Do Mormons Worship Christ?

To start things off, I’ve been doing a bit of research on Christianity due to a friend I have at my place of employment. In my research I came upon the wonderful debate on whether or not members of the LDS church are “Christians”. The arguments pointed out were surprisingly well-worded and easy to understand. One of the main on...

It's a new day,
And so I must fight.
Fight for my right live!
As time gose on,
I know my suffering will be small.
But why must I stuggle at all?
Time will go on,
And soon I'll be,
Just another scar on your heart.
Am I so alone?
My sadness and pain,
I'll never show.
But will time go on for me?
Can there be light behind my sorrow...

The footnotes on that sentence seem to confirm the vague meaning I'm deriving from it as well.
