Job Security
PoeticIntensity
I've been pondering on how I am to write about this without seeming haughty or prideful, because quite honestly, I feel nothing more than blessed beyond words.
When I was offered this job, it just felt right. Six months previous to my being offered this job, I was offered another job in SLC which seemed right in every aspect but the fact th...

Gen. Conf. - Neighbor - Burton

Reading this talk from Bish H. David Burton really made me feel good. It brought the Spirit of God into my little work office and made me realize how much good there is to be done in the world.
I personally had no idea the church was doing so much to help so many people. I knew of some major disasters in which the church lent a huge h...

Gen. Conf. - Heed The Prophet - Cook
PoeticIntensity
I just finished reading the first talk given during the Priesthood Session of conference.
Elder Cook talks of the need to give heed to the words of our prophets.
I think of the things in my life I'm doing wrong, and I feel the truth in his words. I need to heed the prophet's counsel more earnestly in many areas of my life.
I think of th...

Gen. Conf. - Best Investment - Child

While reading this chapter, the first thing that stood out to me was a misconception I've had about Zeniff going back to the land of Nephi.
I thought, until about 10 minutes ago, that Zeniff tried to go inhabit the land twice, when in reality, the first time he was by the Lamanites, he was spying on them. Nothing too earth shattering, just ...

Jackson Guitar...

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 ...
