True Priorities

changed-prioritiesIf asked what was really important in my life, the ‘right’ answer would place God, education, and family high on the list. That’s the answer that I have been taught.  That’s the answer that something deep and sleeping and significant in me knows is true. But this isn’t the answer that I live by.

A Single, Simple Step

For a long time I have held the belief that, as children of God, we all face different trials during our respective extended stays away from Him. I’m really talking about soul-deep trials and not superficial problems we encounter from day to day. I further believe that, although our trials are very different and unique, we are all tried in the same measure. With this view God is ultimately fair. I believe that the extent of our trials rests much on how we respond to them. And that is what this short blog post is about.

Theme Pack for Windows 7: Life of Jesus Christ

It’s a little late for Easter, but I decided to throw this theme pack together using images from the Gospel Art Book put out by the LDS church. I just used Windows Live Photo Gallery to crop the images to 16:9.

Edit 6/17/2009: I have updated the theme pack; it seems I didn’t crop one of the photos. Please note this is optimized for 16:9 displays (widescreen) and will work great with 16:10.

I am not Nephi

I can’t sleep, therefore I bloge (pronounced like luge, it’s French for “blog”).

I had some interesting thoughts as I was reading in my Book of Mormon today that I figure I’ll throw out to the many hundreds of thousands of people who read my bloge.

1 Nephi 3:31

…how is it possible that the Lord will deliver Laban into our hands? Behold, he is a mighty man, and he can command fifty, yea even he can slay fifty; then why not us?

This Year, To Save Me From Tears…

White Christmas 2008

Taken out my front window in Provo on 12/25/2008

The last time we had this much snow on Christmas day I was a little kid! It’s amazing, especially considering I have a season pass to Sundance with my girlfriend! This is going to be an awesome snow season!
