Daily Temple Vid

Clint — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:31:27 +0000

I’ve seen a few videos lately of people that will video something every day. One video was of a kid that took a video of himself doing a flip every day for a month. Another video was a 1 second snippet of a girls day for a full year. So, in honor of these two videos, I decided to take my flip video with me every day and video something. After a little bit of thought, I decided to take a video of the Twin Falls LDS Temple. I don’t drive by the temple every day but it is close to my house and if I plan it right, I can drive past every single day. So, I took my Flip Video and filmed some snippets from each time I passed by the Mormon Temple in Twin Falls. Below is my edited movie.

Elders Quorum Lesson

Clint — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:17:17 +0000

I had to give the Elders Quorum lesson last Sunday so I thought I would do something new and creative, so, I checked out a light box from the library and showed these two videos.

The first video is from Mormon Messages which talks about the 400 year anniversary of the Bible being translated into English. Then, I showed snippets from President Packer’s address at General Conference in April of 2011.

Below are the vids.

I think the Elders in the quorum liked the change in the lesson format. Who doesn’t like watching a little video here and there.

Mormon Channel on YouTube

Clint — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:19:31 +0000

As I was reading some articles from the Back Bench of the Bloggernacle, I came across an interesting piece of information I thought I would share on this website. I discovered that the LDS Church has updated all of the New Testament Stories. You can find all of these videos at this website address. http://www.youtube.com/user/MormonMessages#g/c/299A568C7EF6A6CB. The video’s are not high quality action videos but I think they are good enough to keep kids interested in the stories of the Bible. In fact, this article talked about using one of these videos for their nursery lesson. What a great idea. Use your resources (as the scouts always say) and show a quick little video about a story from the New Testament. This is also a great resource for FHE (Family Home Evening). Below is the video that the article was talking about.

Martin’s Cove Trek

Clint — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 16:47:00 +0000

This summer out Stake took all of the youth on a Pioneer Trek. We loaded buses and traveled to Wyoming and visited Martin’s Cove. We hope that through this experience the youth will learn several things. They will learn that they can do hard things, they will have an appreciation for their ancestors, they will gain a stronger testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they will bond with other youth in the stake so they will be stronger against temptation, they will rub shoulders with other stake adult leaders and learn from them, etc. Below is a little video I put together of this trek.

Temple Trip

Clint — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 03:59:13 +0000

Last week we went on vacation. We jumped in the car and headed down to Southern California. We decided to break up the long drive by stopping in Primm Nevada and stay overnight. We like staying in Primm because of the really inexpensive hotel rooms but nice accommodations. However, if we did this, we would have to stay all day Sunday in Las Vegas, Sin City. So, we tried to make the best of it. We got up early, got our Sunday clothes and tracked down the nearest Mormon Church that we could find. We attended Sacrament Meeting and then loaded back up in the car and tried to find the Las Vegas Temple. The weather was scorching hot. A blistering 111 degrees so we didn’t want to spend too much time out side. Nevertheless, I did take along my flip video and captured our visit.

General Conference Wordle

Clint — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 15:52:36 +0000

For the last several conferences, I have shown wordles (word clouds) of the text from general conference, which show the frequency of use of words (except words like it, the, and and). Frequency of use determines the word size.

Below is a wordle prepared by Connor Boyack of the text from all the talks from the April 2011 general conference. Click the graphic to see it full-sized. You can see other designs on his site.

Conference Quotes

Clint — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:23:20 +0000

Here are some of my favorite quotes from General Conference Priesthood Session April 2010. These are a few phrases that I liked.

President Henry B. Eyring:
School of the Priesthood
He has mastered the eternal curriculum.

President Thomas S. Monson:
What do I deal with every day that causes me to weep sometimes late into the night? I thought that I would try to address a few of those.
In the three years since I was sustained as President of the Church, oddly the saddest and most discouraging responsibility I have each week is the handling of cancellations of sealings.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf:
Through the Priesthood, the very power of godliness is manifest.
Somewhere between the hearing, the writing of a reminder on our smart phone, and the actual doing, our “do it” switch gets rotated to the “do it later” position.
Find Joy in Priesthood service. During my career as an airline pilot I had the opportunity to be a check and training captain. Part of my training was to test and train experienced pilots. I found that there were pilots who, after even after many years of flying professionally, never lost the thrill of climbing into the atmosphere.

Geocaching

Clint — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:12:35 +0000

It has been a long long time since I pulled my GPS out of my Swag Box to track down a cache. I’ve just been so busy with other stuff that I just haven’t had a chance to go geocaching. Last week the Scout Master in our ward called me up to ask if I would teach a class about geocaching to the scouts in our Mormon Ward. I said yes and started to rummage through all of my goecaching stuff.

I found a bunch of stuff that I had almost forgotten about including the fact that I still have a Travel Bug out there in the geocaching world. So, I logged into my Geocaching.com account and checked it out. To my amazement, this little travel bug named “Tree chain” had made quite a few trips around this small world of ours. Below is how many miles this little travel bug has logged and below that is a picture of where it has been.
