Best Birthday Ever!
PoeticIntensity
I haven't posted many videos lately, primarily because KdenLive (my video editor in Linux) wouldn't run for more than 5 seconds without completely crashing - making it impossible for me to do any video editing. I haven't had any success with any other video editors out there (including Cinelerra), so, I've been video-less.
Anyway, KdenLive re...

Oh wow. Man, life just keeps getting more and more interesting... along with frustrating, slightly scary, and faith-promoting. I won't get into the details here, though, because I want to talk about something else.
One thing which came at me as quite intriguing today during church was the concept of "Doctrine of Gratitude&...

5-Year-Old's Perspective
PoeticIntensity
I just finished putting my 5-year-old and my 3-year-old to bed.
Earlier today, they both went to the dentist to have a check-up, and for Luci, it was a semi-traumatic experience. She did really good, but at one point, she was seriously distraught about this gun-looking thing which sprayed water everywhere, and the vacuum they were going to ...

Alma : 25
PoeticIntensity
After having killed one thousand and five of their own people, and having realized they didn't really want to be killing their own people, I imagine the anger of the Lamanites went to pretty extreme levels.
I can't imagine the scene which must have taken place at the city of Ammonihah. That has got to be one of my favorite "God's justi...

Alma : 24 - Conversion
PoeticIntensity
Man... When I started reading this one, I forgot it was about the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's who sacrificed themselves for the word of God. Wow.
Along with the previous chapter, I find it interesting that the main source of contention among all the Lamanites are the people who were once Nephites themselves. The Amalekites and the A...

Ya know, I thought up until now that verse 6 refers only to the people under the reign of king Lamoni. Evidently, it was everyone under the king of the entire Lamanite nation. Amazing, amazing missionary work.

So, I'm pretty sure these words are being spoken to us, the Gentiles, and they are meant for people living now. The last chapter was spoken to those who would be alive during the coming of the Book of Mormon, and it doesn't seem like this chapter deviates from that.
Interesting that included in the list of "wicked ways" is t...

1st Nephi : 18 - Nephi's Faith

I don't think that ever you will find any words of righteousness associated with Laman and Lemuel, not once, but twice, within 4 verses more than in this chapter alone.
Not sure why that stood out at me this time, but once in verse 1 and again in verse 4, Nephi said that Laman and Lemuel were on good behavior. I thought I'd take time to suc...
