Examples of Christ-like Living
PoeticIntensity
I went to bed yesterday around 9:00pm, and I should have learned by now that when I go to bed that early, I wake up about 3 hours later and am up for half the night.
So, I might as well see what I can hack out in my journal.
Lately, I've been pondering how I can be more of an example to those around me. An example of what? I'm not...

Gen. Conf. - Few Degrees - Uchtdorf
PoeticIntensity
In response to this talk, I catch myself wondering how many degrees off I am. Everyone makes mistakes, and I know the mistakes I make, and I wonder how far I am from the iron rod.
I'm fairly certain I can figure this out quite easily through prayer, and if need be, receive the needed help to get back to where I should be.
Good solid talk,...

Gen. Conf. - 12YrOld Deacon - Madsen
PoeticIntensity
The beginning of this talk was set by talking about the experience President Gordon B. Hinckley had as a deacon. He spoke of the moving power of the men singing "Praise To The Man", at a Stake Priesthood Meeting.
While reading that experience, my mind immediately turned back to a very similar experience I had when beginning my mis...

Changing Ryan's Clutch
PoeticIntensity
Today I anticipated changing the clutch on Ryan's 1995 Mustang GT for about 3 hours. I got up at 7:30 to do it, and I'm writing this about 2 hours after we finished. Needless to say, it was an all-day adventure - and holy cow, were we dirty.
I didn't have the sense to take a picture of both of us before I took a shower, but I did of ...

Postgres Authentication in Proftpd
PoeticIntensity
Today I was commissioned to create an FTP server here at work. Through persistent pestering of the hideously insecure nature of FTP in general, my boss let me dedicate an entire server just for the company's need to FTP. This was to negate the possibility of any hacking of the web server, should the FTP server be compromised. It's...

Gen. Conf. - Who You Are - Burgess
PoeticIntensity
Pondering on the words of Elder Burgess, I am led down a thought process a bit different than where his talk went.
I've been noticing that we as humans define ourselves quite differently, and most do it subconsciously, than we think we do.
The whole concept of "defining oneself" baffled me some years ago.
My parents and my church ta...

I'm also quite amazed at the technology which wraps around the medical field. At the last portion of ...

Honest living of the Gospe...
