Song - Livin' Right
PoeticIntensity
(audio entry)
Okay. I've been working on a song since a while back, actually... I wrote the lyrics on the same night I wrote this entry.
Anyway... It's just about done. All I'm waiting for now is some seriously kicking piano tracks from my good friend Scott. As soon as I receive those, I'm all but sure they'll kick bootie, and I'll incoropor...

1st Nephi : 2
PoeticIntensity
Things that impressed me for this chapter were different than any time I've read it before (that I can remember), and that, being as simple as it is, is a testament to me as to why we should continue reading the Book of Mormon throughout our entire lives.
Interesting how Laman and Lemuel consider the spiritual visions of Lehi to be "foolishn...

HD? Don't Use Vista!
PoeticIntensity
I just got done reading an account of a guy who, for reasons having to do with his own personal HD video editing of his own personal HD videos taken by his own HD camcorder which I suppose he didn't steal, decided to purchase an HD monitor.
Due to his desire to experience true HD, for unknown reasons, Microsoft decided to not let him.

1st Nephi : 1
PoeticIntensity
Three things stood out at me during tonight's study session:
1. I wonder where the translation of the plates of Lehi are right now? I've never read the history of the Chuch, so I don't know if it's documented there, but Joseph Smith had them, and had them returned to him after he lost them. Did he destroy them? Are they somewhe...

Book of Mormon Intro.
PoeticIntensity
This entry begins the documenting of my studies of the Book of Mormon in my "journal". One of my new year's resolutions for 2008 is to read, study, and write about every chapter in the Book of Mormon. I figured today was as good a time as any to begin.
And so I begin with the Introduction of the Book of Mormon.

Today I had time to reflect on everything which happened this year. I'll try my best to articulate my thoughts, though I'm not exactly sure what will turn up.
2007 was a year of goal making, goal breaking, and goal taking.

Uncomfortable Spirituality

I was brought up in a good, wholesome LDS home where abuse wasn't even thought about. I didn't even know abuse was a word until I learned about it from others. I went to church, had a good time, and generally enjoyed a wonderful family life.
During my teenage years, I started thinking about spirituality for no apparent reason. I star...
