I'll be what I am...

Life status update: Life is slowly working it's way out. I'm feeling more productive. it's great.

Other news: Went down to the Utah summer games for frisbee, and eventually started rocking it. We actually beat one of the byu club teams with basically just our little group of friends.  By the end of 7 games in two days though, my legs where pretty shot, and sunburned, in fact I'm still peeling 12 days later. 

The following weekend was the end of orem city league ultimate.  There we were beating another team while being down a man with no subs. Then in a tragedy of tragedies, Hyrum came down and was injured, we dragged him off the field, kept winning for a bit longer, then finally they wised up and just kept a defender deep and we lost.  Later at the urgent care we found out what I had already suspected after further examining Hyrum's foot, it was broken.

The working at home is pretty nice, it'd be a little nicer to have the second shift a little earlier, but it's not bad. It pays the bills, and motivates me to keep pursuing other options, especially grad school.

Finally, this is such a great song, and just to say stargate is pretty great too

until then I'll be what I am.

Brightness

It occurred to me today during church, why certain descriptions are what they are. I mean, feet as burnished brass, fire, lightning, etc.  What other bright sources of light were there in ancient times, the sun? It only makes sense to describe something incredibly bright in those terms.  Joseph Smith's ability to describe what he saw isn't significantly better in describing how incredibly bright the glory of heavenly being is. It seems like it's basically unimaginable how bright it is.  Just a thought anyway.
