Alma : 57
PoeticIntensity
Yet another great strategy-based chapter. I'm kind of tired right now, and this chapter wasn't really loaded with doctrinal insights, but I will say that if there's any question about whether or not obedience has its rewards, you'll have to read verses 21-27. Definitely makes me want to both learn about and obey my Heavenly Father...

Alma : 56 - Courage, Faith
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... The explanations of the strategy of war really is interesting to me. But when I come across verses like these, I simply can't help but get chills.
I actually tear up when reading these verses. I guess it's kind of the whole underdog syndrome. Ya know... When there's a conflict, or a competition, and the odds are...

Alma : 56 - Covenants
PoeticIntensity
With all that I've noticed about making covenants this time around, I can't help but notice that this chapter has some very interesting words.
I really do wonder where the line is with covenants we make. In the days of the Book of Mormon, people would rather die than lie or break a covenant. This is made abundantly clear with the eali...

I love Moroni's strategy. With God on his side, he seems almost unstoppable.
So Ammoron decides to be a jerk about the letter-sending, and what-not, so Moroni's like, "Dude... You did NOT just say that! A'ight, then, we'll see who gets to keep prisoners around here!!"
Let's see what could have gone wrong with this st...

We told her that it was okay ...
