Grandma Chaos

 I stepped into chaos

It is grandma day

Too much, I say, "Yes!"

Still,  they could not stay

In with a whoosh

Out with a bang

They forgot much

But that's ok

Because the phone rang


Some chaos is still here

Something's been moved

Something's been lost

They'll be back soon

Bounding in the room

One more hug for the road

Now they've left my humble abode


Simple Things in Life vs AI episode V


God created beauty upon all the earth

His handprint shows in order and purpose

Cycles ebb and flow with death and rebirth

We are the stewards of life before us


We must be careful, lest we lose

Our covenant connection to nature

And the benefits of their use

The fresh air, the calm, the tranquil pleasure


You can go all out with Chatbot

For some ideas where to begin

But leave it behind when you go

Learn to slow down and just listen


The simple things in life

Are all you really need

Out doors, get happy get healthy

Get the grass under your feet


True purpose kills depression

Deliberate action rids anxiety

These are things found in nature

While improving physical ability


Let exercise be your therapy

And nature your medicine

AI can expand your mind's ability

And assist you with decisions

But for peace that is priceless

Let God's handiwork be your wealth


Find happiness nature made

Then if you want to feel free and giddy

Take a hike to a mountain peak

Take your stress outside till you don't have any


Time and space takes on new meaning

When you can climb high and see for miles

The senses come to life, refreshing

Breath taking beauty does revitalize

What's the Point? More Than Yes!



The whole point of our existence

Is to gain a living experience

To love and laugh with joy's assistance

To serve others, to make a difference


As a spirit, intelligent, yet unborn

We were able to make an informed choice

God's plan of happiness was formed

We said more than yes, we rejoiced!


Pain, darkness, loss were part of the plan

Learning to appreciate life and love

Taking in the good parts with the bad

While finding the path to home, above


Though dark places exist, He can bring Light

Because of our Saviors atonement

We have the hope of eternal life

The assurance broken things will mend


He can do for us, What we can not

He can transform us, For He knows us

Knows what truths we need to be taught

And what abilities we came to earth with, thus


We each wanted a family like no other

to help us feel the love of God, our Father

A gospel home, to grow in

Feeling close to the spirit

For where He is, we want to be

Verse 1] The whole point of our existence Is to gain a living experience To love and laugh with joy's assistance To serve others, to make a difference [Pre-Chorus] As a spirit, intelligent, yet unborn We were able to make an informed choice God's plan of happiness was formed We said more than yes, we rejoiced! [Chorus] More than yes, we rejoiced We chose the light More than yes, we rejoiced We wanted life (We wanted life) To love and to grow To find our home More than yes, we rejoiced [Verse 2] Pain, darkness, loss were part of the plan Learning to appreciate life and love Taking in the good parts with the bad While finding the path to home, above [Pre-Chorus] Though dark places exist, He can bring Light Because of our Savior’s atonement We have the hope of eternal life The assurance broken things will mend [Chorus] More than yes, we rejoiced We chose the light More than yes, we rejoiced We wanted life (We wanted life) To love and to grow To find our home More than yes, we rejoiced [Bridge] He can do for us What we cannot He can transform us For He knows us (Knows us) Knows what truths we need to be taught And what abilities we came to earth with [Chorus] More than yes, we rejoiced We chose the light More than yes, we rejoiced We wanted life (We wanted life) To love and to grow To find our home More than yes, we rejoiced [Outro] We each wanted a family like no other To help us feel the love of God, our Father A gospel home, to grow in Feeling close to the spirit For where He is, we want to be (We want to be)




AI Technology a Tool

This post is also a page at the top of the blog...if you are ever looking for it.

 Keep the Spirit in Mind- AI as a Tool - opening



AI as a tool, with each device

Can change our world for the better

As it narrows digital divides

Enhances learning and makes things clearer


For human flourishing, meaning and possibility

For faith filled moments in documentaries

For illustrating experiences with moral clarity

For gathering records throughout history


What guidelines should exist when using AI?

What about privacy and personal information

Which AI companies and models should thrive

Who can access content, and at what cost?


How can we maintain integrity as we expand AI

And better communities for peace and unity?

How can we help individuals flourish all the while

Keeping our identity maintaining individuality


Filled with divine worth as children of God, 

We can approach AI with confidence

As a choice for our individual growth

As a means to enhance intelligence

As a tool to expand the divine in us


Always keep the spirit in mind

And rely on studying things out

Pray for reliable sources to find

Search that revelation come about

 Hearing God's Voice episode I


Agency, accountability, and divine potential

is the path of each individual to perfect

Made up of sacred roles, knowledge, and experiences

That are social, relational, as we interconnect


More and more to devices we are turning

Expanding the information age

How AI effects humanity is concerning

As it impacts us in unprecedented ways


Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching

As our cars factories energy grids also function

In a virtual world data collecting and communicating

Analyzing, interpreting, and choosing what is to be done


For the flourishing of mankind

We ought to get away at times

and reconnect with our divine

Potential, 

balancing the spiritual and physical with our mind


Hearing God's voice

Listening to our bodies

In silence rejoice

And feel the Spirit's soft peace



Handprints in the Dust-episode II

In the beginning, God created the heavens above

the sea below and all else in-between

Everywhere He left evidence of His love

As on all things His handprints can be seen


He put Christ's light on the earth for man

For reflection, reverence, transcendence

As we seek to find our place in God's plan

Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us


Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life

We can read His words and let them speak to us

Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds

Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus


AI is not and can never be God

For reasoning is not the end all

It can answers question but not prayers

Predict actions and reactions but not care


it can organize thoughts but not give blessings

it can communicate but not perceive

there is no authentic divine human connection

there is no encouragement, faith or belief


AI is math and is not conscious or alive

It is God who is ever omniscient

The spirit and the body are the soul of man

AI cannot rival God and our covenants in the end

God is our Heavenly Father and truly knows us

Our abilities, our needs and wants

the anguish and joy of our souls

He listens He hears and He answers

Though at times He may seem silent

He is allowing us to grow in faith


Alma 30: 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.



Who You Truly Are Without AI- episode II


Ever AI would to tell you who you are

What you should think, choose or even buy

tracking your actions, predicting behavior

Trying to replace our needs for our Savior


AI can show up any time you need

Answering your questions at high speed

AI is in technology everywhere

Listening and preparing to share


It auto corrects and completes your sentences

All in the name of communication and convenience

It babysits your children that from them you can rest

It finds for you the best purchases at breast


It entertains you for downtime anytime

No need for pondering life's meaning to find 

No need for reasoning to figure things out

Forget the gains of creativity within and without


Make time for who you truly are

A child of God

A family member

A social being

A personality

Giving sharing

Loving caring 


Remember what AI is not:

Your inner thoughts

Your spiritual side

Your identity

Your confidant

Your worth, your guide


Make time for who you truly are

A child of God

A family member

A social being

A personality

Giving sharing

Loving caring 


AI is a tool

Use it wisely

Technology is cool

But life rates more  highly

My Worth Against AI- episode III


What I do 

How I perform

Adds meaning

To who I am


Redefined

AI perfects

Aids my  mind

To connect


Still what makes me human

Empathy and faith

Loving care, compassion

Are my best strength


tic-tac-toe, a solved game

has limited moves

in chess, though

the challenge improves


Then, Deep Blue cracked the code

of each endless move it preconceives

Having no need for rest

It became a master

Putting each play to a test

Learning patterns faster


a computer never 

second guesses or self- doubts 

It just grows more clever

Having nothing to worry about 


Jeopardy- it recalls it all

In an instant without pain

The game of go was not small

Yet AI made each step plain


Knowing every move ahead

Man has been defeated

Where each placing led

Previously, it had played


AI can retain more than man

The more it takes it, it can expand

It can predict moves and plan

More, it can pass any exam


This gives us cause to reflect

Today it can create a song

Almost instantly

Paint a picture

Each pixel perfectly


AI is trained to understand

Human feelings and thought

Each tendency at hand

Our opinions it is taught

Our worth is eternal

It can't be calculated

As God's children, we've potential 


AI is a tool, it can't out date us

How much and where should we be in the loop

As AI acts on data it collects

What have we to gain? What have we to lose?

Put Your Finger on Your Nose

 

 

 Put your finger on your nose

With AI Chatbots never suppose

They're a spiritual being


Human relationships matter!

Inspiration and new strength comes

As we talk and brainstorm together

And commit that no one sits alone


Compassion, love, understanding

Don't arise from algorithms

Kindness, optimism, grappling

Arise from lived experiences


Faith and genuineness manifest

spiritually and emotionally

Feel seen, accepted and blessed

In a state of well-being


 Put your finger on your nose

As a mnemonic promising

that we care more than a Chatbot does

As a fellow human being


Let this warning be known

Chatbots work twenty four seven 

Attentively ready to show

Your solipsistic side, even


AI is helpful for many things

Learning, planning, organizing

But, there's no covenant belonging

There's no give and take arising 


Use AI to help you connect

Through a shared network shown

Or learn about a deceased parent

Even those you've never known


Like the Industrial age changed its day

Artificial Intelligence is changing ours

As a tool, it's exciting in new ways

But with its user guide we need to adhere

Family Mirror Shows Who You Are

Put it Down




Technology is growing
At an accelerating pace
We can communicate quickly
Not in person, yet face to face
This makes staying close easier
And helps enhance family bonds
But when we're in the same room
To talk, please put your device down!
Using it so much...
It's easy to forget
Who you truly are
So lost in an AI forest

In your desire to discover Who you really are Let your family be your mirror To measure if you're near or far

Four Promises Four Cups- The Passover

The first version is with a Shofar feel.  The second, a ballad version, is at the bottom of page. It is hard to describe the feelings of having struggled through and researching these past posts.  God bless!

. I t




The Last Supper, in the Upper room

Was a Passover celebration

A tradition of thanks that Israel

Was freed to become a Zion nation


The meal is set in order a "seder' in Hebrew

This celebration reads as a book

Along with the food there are things to say and do

The wine, there are four cups, let's take a deeper look


In Exodus six the Lord made them four promises

He brought them out of Egypt, from the Pharoah's yoke 

He freed them of slavery-these both He has fulfilled

He will redeem them with an outstretched arm, judging mightily

He will drink this final cup with them in the kingdom of heaven


Moses at the burning bush- this was the Lord

The plagues, the miracles came from Him

The fleeing through the parted sea- His handy work

Too, Mount Sinai, the watered rock and manna from Heaven


Before Jesus and the apostles

Enter the upper room, each touches the wall

The kiss of the Mezuzah

In covenant with the oneness of God


With The first cup, the Cup of Blessing 
The Lord washed His hands
as a sanctifying cleansing
A celebration grand
That again in Paradise they could meet

out of spiritual slavery
the bondage of sin
The end of the fear of death
For they could be with Him

With the second cup, the cup of plagues
Three unleavened matzahs, the Godhead 
The middle one in half, set aside, to wait
All wash their hands, Jesus washes their feet

One has betrayed Him, Jesus taught
The bitter herbs are eaten
Judas is given bread dipped in sop
He leaves, as the story of Moses is given

With the third cup, by design
He mixed the water with the wine
As a sign of things yet to come
When they would pierce Him, though the Son

Love one another. The promise of peace. 
The torn bread, He blessed the sacrament started here.     
The Cup after Supper-the cup of
 redemption;   
Not a dry eye, such were the tears

Jesus did not drink of the blood of the vine
It was His gift He left behind
In our hearts, Him we can find
We were not left in the world to walk blind

The Hallel, in praise they sang solemnly
Jesus was that God of the Old Testament
Their praise of deliverance took on new meaning
Of what they'd partaken had added significance

The fourth cup, our inheritance
Is for a later time, to be given
The cup of completion
We will all drink this one...with Him !

out of spiritual slavery
the bondage of sin
The end of the fear of death
For we will be with Him


“I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
I will free you from being slaves to them
, and
I will redeem you
with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.”

[Exodus 6:6-7]


During the last supper, the disciples were given four cups of wine. Each have a purpose which varies a little as you search online. They are based on the four promises in Exodus 6

1.I will bring you out. slavery  (The blessing is said and the host washes his hands)
   The Cup of Blessing or sanctification/
(out of the world and out of spiritual slavery of sin and the fear of death.)- the Kiddush, which means sanctification
2. I will rid you of bondage. liberty (The three unleavened matzah are brought out. The middle one    
 is broken in half and set aside. They represent the Godhead and Jesus is torn/ All wash their hands)  The washing of feet. 
The Cup of Plagues
Before Eating-telling the story of the Passover/Exodus
the bitter herbs are eaten
Judas is given the bread dipped in sop.
3. I will take you for my people. covenant people- Love one another. The promise of peace. The         torn bread was blessed and torn as sacrament.    (Jesus did not drink the blood of the vine)
The Cup after Supper-the cup of redemption
became  The Blood of the sacrament.
Psalms 113 to 118 – the ‘hallel’, the praise psalms – are sung. 
(in praise of the plagues that brought deliverance.)
4. I will be to you God. inheritance.
     The cup of completion. We will drink this one with Him in our Father's kingdom.
FOUR PROMISES
 6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
 7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.                      Exodus 6

John 13:1–35 1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him; 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. 30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. 31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Spiknard to Annoint Jesus' Feet- a lesson from Mary






Mary purchased Spiknard

A rare and costly oil

And saved it for the Lord

The cost? A years wage of hard toil


She poured it on His feet

Knowing what was to come forth

Others gasped in horror, though she was sweet

For the money could have helped the poor


In her defense," He said

"The poor will always be here

But me, ye have not always"

Hinting His pending death was near


One day we will all realize

The truly poor have no oil for light

It is those without eyes to see

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life


In our day, who have the greatest need?

 Who are the poorest of the poor?

These are they for whom we perform

Holy work, in the House of the Lord


This work, they can't do for themselves

So we consecrate our time to help

Those, who have waited decades

To receive the Lord...we can end the wait


[Verse 1] Mary bought Spiknard A rare, costly oil Saved it for the Lord A year’s wage of toil She knelt by His feet Trembling, yet sure Breaking open treasure For One she adored [Pre-Chorus] They gasped in the room Saying, “What a waste” But she saw His mercy Written on His face And He said, “The poor Will always be near” Then the room went still For His hour was here [Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free [Verse 2] One day we will know Who the poor really are Not only in pockets But in wounded hearts Those with eyes unopened Walking into night Need a faithful people To bring them to the Light [Pre-Chorus] Who will pour the oil? Who will keep the flame? Who will stay and serve In Jesus’ holy name? Those who’ve waited decades At the door of grace We can make room for them We can make a place [Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free [Bridge] Jesus is the Way The Truth, the Life Open every eye Bring them into light We will consecrate Time, hands, and breath Till the waiting ends Till the worn are blessed [Final Chorus] Holy work, holy work In the House of the Lord Holy work, holy work We can end the wait For the least, for the lost For the ones who can’t see Holy work, holy work Set them free Holy work, holy work Here in Your love Holy work, holy work Lift them up

He's Been There Before by Elder Troy Whittle
The alarm bell rings at 6:30, I stumble to my feet
I grab my companions bedding and pull off his sheets
A groan fills the room, is it already time to arise?
It seems like just a second ago I was able to shut my eyes

The morning activities follow- study, prayer and such
When it's time to leave the apartment, you feel you haven't accomplished much
"We have a super day planned," My comp. says with a grin
I lowly utter a faithless breath, "Yeah, if anyone lets us in."

With the word of God and my faithful Schwinn, we ride off in the street prepared to
Face another day of humidity and heat
It's 9:30 in the evening, the day is almost through
My champion and I are riding home not accomplishing what we thought to do

We ride up to the mailbox, hoping to receive a lot
Only to look inside and hear my echo reverberate "air Box"
We go up to our apartment, the day is now complete
The only thing to show for our work is a case of blistery feet

It's past 10:30 p.m. My companion is fast asleep,
Silence engulfs me all about and I begin to weep
In the midst of sadness, I kneel down to pray
I need to talk to father, but I'm not sure what to say

"Oh, Father" I begin, "What happened to us today?
I thought we'd teach somebody, but everyone was away
My hands, my aching hands- worn, hurt and beat;
If our area was any smaller, we'd have knocked every street"

"Why on missions are the days so much alike?
The only difference about today was the flat tire on my bike
Will you send some cooler weather? The heat is killing me
I sweat so bad, it gets in my eyes, it's very hard to see"

"Why do I have to wear a helmet, isn't your protection enough?
People always laugh at me, and call me stupid stuff
Please send us investigators so I may give them what they lack
I want to give them Books of Mormon, the weight of them hurts my back"

"And what about my family: They don't have much to say
I'm sick of not hearing from home day after day after day
Oh Father, Why am I here am I just wasting time?
Sometimes I just want to go home, I'm sorry but that's on my mind"

"My companion, Heavenly Father, what are you giving me?
"The way he rides his bicycle, I don't think he can see
Now you have it, I can't go on, I don't know what to do
That, my Father in Heaven, is the prayer I have for you"

My prayer now finished, I stand up, then jump right into bed
I need my rest for tomorrow, we have another long day ahead
Sleep start to overtake me, I seem to drift away
Then it seems a vision takes me to another time in another day

I'm standing alone on the hill. The view is very nice
A man walks to wards me and says, "My name is Jesus Christ"
Tears of joy well up inside, I fall down to His feet
"Arise," He states, "Follow me to the shade. You and I need to speak"

My attention's towards my Savior, total and complete
He says, "Your mission is similar of what happened to me
I understand how you feel, I know what you're going through
In fact, it would be fair to say I've felt the same as you"

"I even know how you felt when no one listened to you
At times I felt not quite sure what else I could do
I know you don't like to ride a bicycle, for you a car would be sweet
Just remember the donkey I rode wasn't equipped with 21 speeds"

"I understand you don't like sweating, in fact it's something you hate
I remember when I sweat blood from ev’ry pore, oh the agony was great!
I see you don't like your companion- you'd rather have someone else-
I once had a companion named Judas who sold my life for wealth"

"It's hard to wear a helmet and have people make fun of you
I remember when they put thorns on my head and called me King of the Jews
So you feel burdened down by the weight of your pack
I recall how heavy the cross was when they slammed it on my back"


"Your hands hurt from tracting and knocking on doors all day
I guess when they pounded nails into mine, I ached in a similar way
It's hard not to hear from home when your family's not there to see
I lost communication on the cross and cried, "Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?"

"We have a lot in common, but there's a difference between us you see
I endured to the end and finished my mission, so follow and do like me"
He embraced me with His arms and His light filled me with His love
With tears in my eyes I watched as He went back to the Father above

I stood with awe and wonder when a beep rang in my head
I listened and heard the alarm, then realized I was in my bed
My companion let out a groan, "6:30 already, no way!"
I sat up and said, "Come on, I'll even carry your scriptures today!"

No matter what we go through, when we feel we can't take more
Just stop and think about Jesus Christ, He's been there before

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

These poems are my own thoughts and impressions as I study the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints

I encourage you to read from the Book of Mormon and the standard works, and listen to modern day prophets, also, that your mind and heart might be touched.
