Alma : 8 - Christ-like Love
PoeticIntensity
It's good to be back. I feel like I really got a lot out of this chapter. It could be simply because this chapter has a couple of verses which always seem to prick my heart. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway...
It seems this chapter is all about love. One of the verses found here is so poignant, it pricks my heart every time...

Memory Retention and Service

I just finished reading Alma 7 and, once again, am in a state of mind which makes it hard to actually get any spiritual nourishment from it. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with me now-a-days, but I don't really like it all that much.
Anyway... Here goes with what I got from the chapter (it being among the best chapters in the ...

Well.... It became time again quickly to have a LAN party after the craziness of the holiday season. So, we decided to have one two days ago. It was fairly awesome.

Alma : 6
PoeticIntensity
Once quite awhile ago, my brother came to me and asked me why we go to church, and where is the doctrine concerning church attendance. In addition to Moroni 6 : 4-6, I also gave him Alma 6 : 6.
Other than that, this seems to just be a transition verse from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon.
It also speaks about membership of t...

I actually read this yesterday while I was about ready to fall asleep, so, I didn't write anything. However, I did make a goal last year to read through the entire Book of Mormon and write about each and every chapter, so here's what I remember about Alma 5.
Within the first 3 verses, Alma makes it apparent that he is talking to the people ...

New Song - "Dance With Me"
PoeticIntensity
(audio entry)
Well... Nothing too exciting in my life, but I thought I'd tell everyone that I wrote a new song. As you can probably guess, it's called Dance With Me. It's nothing more than a bass-line I came up with and a few more instruments.
I've gotta say though, Ryan Phillips, the guy on the guitar is awesome. I love working with him, an...

that it is an awful sin, and as long as you don't act on it, youre okay.
I really don't believe that God would make 10% of...
