The Sweetest Feeling
SSwims
~I just feel so much in my heart right now. Words truly cannot express how full my heart is. I just finished watching the movie "A Far Off Place". It has always been one of my favorites since I was a little girl. The music in it has always stirred deep emotions within me. It is just gorgeous. It has a melody that tugs at my heart. I ...

Samuel at two weeks
sarahkimjones
Here are the latest pictues of Samuel and the kids. He is doing really great! At his two week check on Monday the Pediatrician said he looks perfect. We are adjusting pretty well. The main problem for me is just lack of sleep right now, but that will get better with time. Anywho, enjoy the pictures.

Decisions In Life
PoeticIntensity
I've been pondering, and struggling somewhat, on how exactly to write what I'm going to write today - for quite some time.
Growing up, I was encompassed by stability. I had a stable religion which required us to attend meetings once per week, which we did religiously (pun intended). I had two parents who loved one another. My m...

The error I've been receiving is thus:

IE Caching AJAX bug
PoeticIntensity
*sigh*
As programming techniques become more and more complex, and the programmers continue to be just as, or more, diversified, companies who insist on being the industry standard while tossing away organizations such as the W3C, make life as a web developer increasingly difficult.
If that didn't make much sense, let me rephrase: Micro...

I guess I can't get enough of these covers. I had no intention of doing one tonight, but I was so in the mood, I ripped this out on the 2nd take.
I take a lot of liberties on this, and there are a few slight timing issues, but I thought it was a great show of the "groove" inside music.
Good times.

Mormon : 4
PoeticIntensity
Man... This chapter was brutal. Wars, wickedness, and death. Seems to me that this is the result of giving power to Satan, letting him run rampant. Hating your neighbor and wanting to kill him for the sake of being bloodthirsty. So terribly sad, and unfortunate.
Interesting in verse 5 that Mormon writes that the wick...

Jarom, for some reason, didn't seem all that inspired to me, this time around.
The only thing which caused me to question was verse 2.
To me, it seems that Jarom didn't want to write "much" for two reasons: 1. Because the plates are small, and 2. They are being written for the benefit of the Lamanites.
