"Is this week already over??" Wow... I guess it's Saturday night. Yup.
This week, the studio has been packed. Full house. Monday was the only day without sessions, and that was on purpose. Tuesday through Saturday was full, and that's the way we like it here at Advanced Budget Studios.

3 Nephi : 14
PoeticIntensity
The golden rule seems to have come out of this chapter.
The first thing that caught my attention in this chapter is the possible meaning of verses 4 and 5. the "mote in thy brother's eye" verses. Some people would interpret this as "live and let live", or "worry about yourself, not others". To...

Music till Dawn

So, I haven't written for awhile - mostly because I enjoy writing after a project has been completed. Well - right now Advanced Budget Studios has quite a few bands in the works, who are going after multi-track demos. My guess is - we'll be fishing them up around the same time, and let me tell you now - all of em' are going to be awesom...

Also, I've got one big desktop from the 2 monitors. Here's the config.

The first six verses of this chapter talk about performing your "alms" without fanfare. I'm caught wondering why this is important. What's the concept behind the action?
Well, I think that's the very essense of it. - "Why are you giving?" "Why are you charitable?" Is it so you can appear to be...

Since the studio's new shining star arrived, we've been having a lot of fun around here.

So, after two successf...

From the beginning of this chapter, it's obvious that Christ means business when he makes covenants. Causing entire books to be written, and then keeping 100% of everything that is written means something.
I wonder why the people thought that Christ's coming "destroyed" the prophets? Interesting.
I love verse 9. &q...
