Rant and Rave?

Although we might not admit it, we all love rants and raves. Why? Because we secretly agree with them.

Forget the Boat, I'm on a BUS!

So check this: I'm on a bus right now, going to Nauvoo on a school trip that I wasn't suppose to be on because there was no room. I might have talked my way onto it. Oh, and are you wondering how I have internet? Well, I might have kinda sorta stole the USB Modem because the WiFi they hooked it up to had a password.

I figured this: "No is only the first answer." and "If it doesn't work, adapt."

Rise Above

When things get down, reach up towards Heaven. Then we will feel the might of the Lord descend upon us and we will find that we have risen above all else.

How to Write

Want to know how I write well? Simple. I just listen to the Spirit.

Thoughts at a Devo

I have a great ability to build up heated passion and send it out into the world. I have this as a gift, to move and motivate things. I need to learn to challenge it more into constructive means.

My passion is part of my life. Yea, it makes me a little crazy at time but during those hazy rages sessions I can see what I don’t normally see. Things are brought before my eyes and I use this knew knowledge to try and shape the world to be a better place.

I find no joy in gossiping, moaning and complaining. I don’t need the praise of other to try and console me, I only need the reassure of God and the closest mortals to me. I let my rants and raging go wild to try and shape the world. I point out our flaw (yes I have them too, I see them in myself a lot) in a hope to identify and overcome them.

Ever rant, every passionate rage, ever time I throw my voice out into the world it is in an attempt to make the world a better place.

So I say, let your rage flow. Let your passion over take you. And control it. Channel that energy, that frustration, all those powerful feeling into changing your world. Changing it for good. To benefit us all.

As Sister Dalton said,

“We can change the world. We can change the world. We can do hard things. We can do hard things.”

The Thank You

If you don't say thank you to a compliment your less likely to get another one.

Dwell To Motivate

Never dwell on the past unless it is to plan for the future. Don't dream of the future unless it will motivate the present.

No door can be opened if the

5 Lessons I learned at PhotoShop

1. Seek the Light
When shooting look for good natural lighting. Look for windows and area that have high levels on contrast. Position your models so that the light hits them best.


2. Shoot into the Sun
Don't be afraid of shooting with the sun directly overhead. Shoot into the sun. Use it to create silhouette, interesting contrast and give people an angelic glow.


3. Go For Natural, Nor Rubber
Don't just blur skin. Use a little blur to do it right. Don't lose the textures in a person or else they seem fake. And no one likes a fake person. No one.


4. Make a Difference
We have been given talents and abilities. We need to use those to further the work of God on the Earth. Instead of going to some horrific scene and captures the tragedy of everything find out what the people have to say. Let the background help the people speak. Don't make the people the background and let the destruction speak. People are important and always consider them first.


5. Be Thou an Example

We interact with people from all over the world. Of all faiths. Of all religions. We need to make sure we are sensitive to what they feel and think. We have to first show them how much we care about them before we have a chance to share the gospel message with them. Tell someone their a sinner and need to change is more like a door slammed in the face. Its asking them what they think and what is important to them that opens the door and lets them walk into our world. And it will be up to them if they want to stay or not, but it very, very important to always keep that door open. You never know when they will need to duck in from the storms of life and find that they really want to stay after all.
