Hallelujah, Qt Creator Vim mode is fixed!

I just couldn't take it any more!  There were three things that I found absolutely unacceptable with the Qt Creator FakeVim mode--you couldn't paste over text, you couldn't exit visual mode by hitting 'v', and the search result color was a horrible yellow background with yellow foreground, rendering the search results unreadable.

I downloaded the source and fixed the bloody thing myself.  W00T!!!

My Baptism primary song (with music)

I was able to get the "Baptism" primary song written down with Harmony Assistant.  Here is a PDF, if you want to try it out!

Baptism

Today I went to the baptism of Beatrice, who lives in our ward, a wonderful lady originally from the Sudan. I had to play the piano for the opening and closing songs, but I probably would have gone anyway. We had a good strong show of support from the ward, for which I was grateful. On the way home, it made me start thinking about Emma's upcoming baptism, and the idea for a song just came so quickly.

Here are the lyrics - unfortunately this isn't the best place for the music yet. I'll have to post that later.


I know when I am baptized
My sins are washed away
I promise to remember
My Savior every day

I get to choose to follow
I get to choose to live
And He will send His Spirit
To guide me on my way

I'm going to make a cov'nant
To promise to obey
To live my life as he did
At home, at work, at play.

I get to choose to follow
I get to choose to live
And He will send His Spirit
To guide me on my way

The Holy Ghost will help me
If I listen to His voice
But if I want his guidance
Then I must make that choice.

I get to choose to follow
I get to choose to live
And He will send His Spirit
To guide me on my way

And I will care for others
And do all that I can
To live and love, and watch and pray
And follow Father's plan.

I get to choose to follow
I get to choose to live
And He will send His Spirit
To guide me on my way.

I like it enough that I'm going to submit it to the church.

Yes, I started a blog

Yep, I'm starting yet another blog.  This is mostly just to keep track of interesting things as they come up, and write down stuff I'm working on.  I'll also post some things that I learn while doing scripture study.
