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.

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....

Alma : 31

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 ...

Alma 29

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

One question comes to mind this time reading chapter 14 and the beginning of 15.
Why in the world did Abinadi think these priests could understand what he was talking about?
An interesting perspective can be had when the audience of each scripture is considered.
The thing I don't get about these chapters (14 and 15), is that the doctrine A...
