I just got done watching and reading the talk given by Elder M. Russell Ballard, and it caused me to ponder my wife, quite a bit. Boiled down, the talk was given on how much mothers do, and how much we, as husbands, need to appreciate them. I certainly hope that I'm appreciating Sarah enough. Heaven knows I've been in Elder Ballard's place a couple of times, where I've been forced to kn...

Gen. Conf. - Book with Promise - Chri

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

Man, I need to write more about spiritual stuff. I've been slacking a bit. Anyway, the talk given about the Book of Mormon by Elder Christensen was really a good one. It brought back sweet memories of my life. Early on, during my mission, I taught a family who had been been searching for the Book of Mormon for years. Of course, when we found them, we were delighted to give i...

Life is Precious

Well I was going to do this last night but it was just to much to do. So here it goes. Wow what a life changing event. This might be a little bit graphic for some but I am going to tell it how it is. So here it goes. Yesterday I worked at the airport I transport people to and from the airport. I was called to go to Provo and get 9 people starting at the Marriot...

From Nvidia to ATI

by: PoeticIntensity

(1 comment)

Well... I just spent about 2 hours writing a how-to on going from an Nvidia-based graphics system in gentoo Linux to an ATI one, but I accidentally erased the whole thing, so I'm going to try my best to be patient and do it again. When I originally got the box for my new ATI Radeon HD4850 video card this morning, I was impressed even in the way they packaged the thing. Even the car...

I wrote this 3-17-08. 5 months later its still true!! Why did the Lord put him in my life? I think I know why. I've never been very religious. I've always believed in God, but I've never felt his presence with me, I've never felt the spirit inside of me. I've never really believed. I gave up on religion around 8th grade. Its not that I didn't care, I just was too confused. Too many h...

Diving Into ATI

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

Okay... Ever since Nvidia came out with their Geforce series, I've been hooked. I've built upwards of 100 systems in my life (family / friends / work) and out of those, about 90% of them use Nvidia video cards. I also highly prefer AMD. In fact, th...

So, about 9 months ago I finshed my personal progress. It felt amazing to have done it! Sunday at our Fireside they called me up infront of everybody, keep in mind theres a few hundred people there. Once I got up there they handed me a letter and told me how proud they all were.... So I go back and sit with my friends and brother! I got home and read the letter, one was from the the stake...

My Wedding Day...

by: PoeticIntensity

I got married like a bit more than 5 years ago, and I'm lovin' it. But, during those five years, I've had some footage gracefully shot and donated to me by my friend Ty Swartzlander on my wedding day. On that day, Ty told me he was going to put something together and give it to me later, but instead, I told him I'd really...

Gen. Conf. - Today - Wickman

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

I enjoyed this talk, but to tell you the truth, I have no idea what to write about it. I think it has to do more with my current mood than anything else. The talk made a great point that we need to live in the now. We need to utilize the atonement of Christ in order to secure a great tomorrow. And as far as yesterday goes, I believe in using the sunny days in the past to brighten ...

Gen. Conf. - One in the Crowd - Nuen.

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

This talk was wonderful! It brought many memories of my adolescence to mind, along with quite a few ponderous questions which I had never before contemplated. I'm not sure if it's my current mood, or the Spirit or what, but this talk was wonderful. It brought back memories of my own childhood, when I made decisions which would bring on many snickers and whisperings from people who I tho...

Miss Universe

Okay, I was watching the latest Miss Universe the other day and it was kind of like watching a train wreck. You don't want to look, but you can't bring yourself to turn away. The interesting part about it was the question and answer portion which is supposed to be the most important part of the competition (yeah right!). They had 30 seconds to answer the question. It would...

2 Nephi 25 - Nephi prophisides of Jesus Christ. Pretty deep. 2 Nephi 28 - Satan moves slowly (inch by inch) to get a grip on us. No clean thing can enter the kingdom of God.

Hi, My name is Catherine Hahn. I'm going to try to start my jounal today. I've had alot happen in my short insignificant life so far. I've been through everything from abusive relationships to addictions to many deaths in the family and after a while, it left me wondering if there really is a God. I mean, I've always believed in God and Jesus Christ but I never felt like I had the complete ans...

Gen. Conf. - Will Not Yield - Zwick

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

Ya know... I really liked this talk. There were points in it where I found his words coming through my mind's eye of the past. While growing up, I was probably on the extreme of what Elder Zwick was trying to convey. Instead of being tempted to go along with the crowd, I thought the crowd was stupid, and I didn't need them. I think both ways (falling into the temptation ...

Gen. Conf. - Ask In Faith - Bednar

I just got done reading, listening to, and watching the general conference talk "Ask In Faith", by Elder David A. Bednar. I must say, having missed the original broadcasting of this conference, I heard all the hype about this talk in the ensuing weeks and months. It seemed that this talk was all the rage about learning how to "really" pray. Well... I watched it...

This time through Mosiah 3, I had a few interruptions, so I wasn't able to concentrate as much as I would have liked, but family really does come first, so, ya gotta do what ya gotta do... Anyway.. Mosiah 3, to me, this time rang loudly of what the Atonement of Jesus Christ is all about. It speaks of who needs the Atonement, who is covererd by the Atonement, the effects of those who...

OpenFire gentoo problems

by: PoeticIntensity

(0 comments)

I just spent the last three hours trying to figure out why my OpenFire 3.5.2 instance was installing just fine, saying that it was running just fine, but in reality was not running at all. Neither port 9090, nor 9091 was open, both ports 9090, and 9091 were closed. ps -A | grep openfire returned nothing - at all. Yet, /etc/init.d/openfire status would say that it was happi...
