RELPC 122 Week 7 Share Insights

Even if you exercise your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you. He loves you to a depth and completeness you cannot conceive of in your mortal state. Indeed, were you to know His entire plan, you would never ask for that which is contrary to it even though your feelings tempt you to do so. Sincere faith gives understanding and strength to accept the will of our Heavenly Father when it differs from our own. We can accept His will with peace and assurance, confident that His infinite wisdom surpasses our own ability to comprehend fully His plan as it unfolds a piece at a time.
Richard G. Scott,  The Sustaining Power of Faith in Times of Uncertainty and Testing, April 2003 General Conference
Truly greater faith is faith that does not fail when you see no immediate results, and that endures while inspiring obedience.  One cannot perform miracles except they be cleansed by Jesus Christ, and they cannot be cleansed except by faith on him and repentance.  It therefore follows that we must have faith that is not a matter of us testing God's faithfulness, but of us proving ourselves faithful.  With this attitude we are more likely to succeed and behold God's plan as it unfolds.

Week 12 Family Relationship Goals

Our objectives for the family are a little complex, I think.  I have to find a way to improve my family relationships and have two goals to do so for two respective relationships.  I think any of my step siblings or my parents could work, so first I will call my mother once per week, preferably on Sunday. That will be goal one and it will end in one month.  for goal two, I will avoid saying anything that might sound less than respectful to or about my dad.  This will also last one month, so it should be checked a couple of months before father's day.  Since I already do this, making a goal of it is a way of keeping me from slipping up when he might be sensitive to it.  Also, I am usually so busy that my mother doesn't know when to call me, and I hardly know when I can call anyone beside my employment manager.  That's all for now.  I guess I will see if this is effective: Call Mother once per week, especially Sunday Avoid common or low speakin...

Now, there had been no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude; But he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink. 3 Nephi 20:6,7 The Lord considered the people valuable, and so he considered their having experiences like unto the people in Israel valuable too.  He did things for them the same, even if it was a bit condensed.  He also did or said a bit more, for their was faith enough among them.

Side focus of programming again to renew m drive

I have a renewed interest in C and Ada programming.  Since I worked on a project for a long time that was ultimately in vain -- a shell written in pure Ada -- I have realized that with the Ada-run-time limitations, the only way I can create a shell that works on multiple operating systems is to write in the code base that is most common between them.  That is C.  Objective C is the primary for macOS, C++, and a little more and more C#, is the primary for MS Windows, but those directly support C calls and syntax and C is the primary for Linux, so there you go.  C preprocessing also allows me to write conditional code for each operating system, so that I can artificially create the kind of interface to the system that matches one Ada library regardless of what system it is compiled on.  These are the definitions I have fortunately discovered:     __linux__       Defined on Linux     __sun        ...
