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...

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.

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.

2007 was a year of goal making, goal breaking, and goal taking.

The Power to Change

The Power to Change
Are there tears in me
For who I want to be?
Humbly in meek prayer,
I'll extend all energy.
With God's help I can abstain.
A new life I can obtain.
I will hold to the rod,
With my life close to God
Through His narrow paths I will trod.
Can these tears of mine
Cleanse all my soul and mind?
With the S...

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.

Even before the speakers begin, I've gotta note that the music played and sung during this conference has moved me just as much as the speakers' messages have. Simply superb.

Ya know, I sure am glad that Nephi wrote verse 22 of this chapter. In all of scripture, this is the only chapter which uses the word "flaxen" to describe the way Satan tempts us.
Flax is a fiber from a plant which is used to make linen. Linen isn't known for its strength.
Satan indeed does "lead us" with very ent...

I think that most of this chapter is talking about the gathering of the tribes of Israel, although I could be completely and totally offbase. This is one of the chapters which I probably wouldn't write about had I not made a resolution to write about each and every chapter from the Book of Mormon.
Pretty difficult to understand right now.
