Obtaining Zion

This week, our religion class was focused on obtaining Zion.  I want to present a few questions and then have some feedback from my Speaking Partner when they read and complete this exercise.

I learned several things with guided study materials.  However, the answers to these questions will be easy to find using standard resources from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:

  • What is the meaning of the word "Zion"?
  • What are the three major cities past, present, or future specifically mentioned in the scriptures?
  • What other figurative locations have also been called Zion?
Now, if you have a study partner or if you are my Speaking Partner, please discuss what you have learned with your partner or me...  Thanks.

Following this study, I wish to express that I was quite surprised that the most prominent places called Zion were cities that are not known to the general world for places of prophesy and great contrast with worshipers of our time.  Most people of today might assume that there are special people in worshiping communities that should qualify as suburbs of Zion, but whether there is such has not been made evident.  We only have the hope that we will be purified enough when the Lord returns that we may be officially joined to a society that might be called Zion, even if it is not the three cities mentioned earlier.

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...

RELPC 122

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        ...
